PREFACE 

This little volume serves as a clearing house, through which to 
distribute both information as to our several pasts and tangible, if 
unexpressed, affection for each other. 

The compilation of this little volume represents a labor of love, 
undertaken, my classmates, because you are men with warm hearts 
and red blood. My regard for you is impressed on it as deeply as 
are the graven words on the beautiful cup you recently gave me. 

With some few exceptions, dear classmates, this little volume 
represents the "orneriest" lot of correspondents a human being 
ever had. Over sixteen hundred written requests were necessary 
to obtain reports from, or about, the one hundred aUd twenty-six 
living men described in the following pages. 

Curses for your silence, but love for you all ! 

The dates ascribed in this Record to various events differ from 
those assigned in previous Records to the same occurrences. A 
comparison was made of all the entries in the former Records, not 
only as among themselves, but also with the statements in the letters 
intended for insertion in the present volume. Whenever any dis- 
crepancy appeared, it was referred to the classmate concerned, and 
there was obtained from him, in specific terms, a correction of the 
error. 

Other inconsistencies were corrected, by reference to the original 
records of the University or to files of the Princetonian. 

These errors were due in no wise to our former Secretary, but 
entirely to a habit of many of those who answer class circulars — a 
habit of whose nature one may obtain an inkling from the following 
summary. 

Replies to the recent circular, when compared with the original 
letters of five years ago, purport to show that, in two instances, men 
have married their same wives on two different dates, that three 
other men, who, prior to July, 1904, had no children, and have 
had none since, now have, among them, five children; that several 



men have 1909 sons or daughters ; that an eldest daughter of five 
years ago is now become a youngest son, and that one man has 
recently married his son, and this, despite the fact that the son died 
more than ten years since. 

You can make all future Records the more readable and accurate, 
and the less delayed in publication, if each of you will meet these 
two simple rules : 

1. At the time of a change in your address, advise the Secretary 
of your new address. 

2. Read over, and, if necessary, correct your Record letter, when 
you have written or dictated it. 

Philip Ashton Rollins, 

Class Secretary. 
32 Nassau Street, New York City.

BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 



MAITLAND ALEXANDER 

At the recent reunion, "Mait" made "First group" in the affection 
and respect of his classmates. For the next five years, having been 
with him at headquarters will be a pleasant memory to those of us 
who were "back", and to be with him there at our twenty-fifth 
reunion will be a pleasant anticipation to all of us. 

Maitland, who has been since 1899, and now is. Pastor of the 
First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh, Pa., reports that he may 
be addressed either at the church or at his home, I^o. 902 Ridge 
Avenue, N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. He tells us that on April 17, 1906, 
he married, at Pittsburgh, Miss Madelaine Francis Laughlin, of that 
city, and that, on May 21, 1908, there was born to them a son, who 
later died.

JARVIS NORRIS ATKINSON 



The class will insist, after reading Atkinson's letter, that, unless 
he attend the next reunion, the class officers destroy whatever ribs 
escaped the accident mentioned below. 

Atkinson writes : 

"I am still engaged in the practice of law at 76 Montgomery 
Street, Jersey City, which same is in the State of New Jersey. I 
reside at 172 Kensington Avenue, Jersey City, which is near the 
first hole in the mosquito belt. 

Our fireside is made happy and glorious by five children : Thalia 
Cloyd, born 1894; John, born 1896; Frank Gray, born 1899; James 
Cloyd, born 1902; Jarvis Norris, Jr., born 1905, named after his 
father, as it appears. Thank God there are no Vacant chairs' in 
our home. It will be my ambition to send the boys to Princeton. 
Princeton is bound to our family by sacred ties. Within its silent 
field sleep my father and brother and grandparents. 



I often wish I could have been graduated with the class, all of 
whom were fine lads. As I grow older I recall oftener and oftener 
the class prayer meetings and the good they did me. Parents, in 
selecting a college for their boys, always consider the rehgious 
influences of the institution. Princeton still retains the faith of its 
fathers. After leaving Princeton, I entered New York University 
and graduated with the class of 1889 with the degree of A.B. I 
immediately entered the University Law School and received LL.B. 
in 1891. While at the University I joined A. $. and $. A. $. (Law). 
I hope to be at the Reunion with the companion of my joys, sorrows 
and the children, if I am able. At present I am suffering with a 
broken rib obtained honorably and while walking in the paths of 
peace. Say! If Adam hadn't had rib trouble I suppose we all 
would be old bachelors. This is my belief. Love to all the class 
and ma,y peace and comfort be their portion forever," 
\ 
■\ WILLIAM PATTERSON ATKINSON 

"Peter" is as thoroughly Princetonian as is the old cannon. He 
attends every reunion and he answers every communication by 
return mail. 

Since February, 1899, "Peter" has been in the faculty of the 
High School of Jersey City, N. J. He may be found either at the 
school or at his home, No. 17 Burnside Street, Upper Montclair, 
N. J. A son, Kenneth Biddle Atkinson, was born January 2, 1907. 
His living children are, therefore, two sons (the elder born Decem- 
ber 14, 1897) ; his only other child, a daughter, having died the day 
after her birth and on February 18, 1896. 

"Peter" adds that, since 1904, he has been "Secretary of the 
University Club of Hudson County, New Jersey, successively Vice- 
President and Member of the Executive Committee of the New 
Jersey High School Teachers' Association, Member of the Execu- 
tive Committee of the Princeton Alumni Association of Montclair 
and vicinity, and Chairman of its sub-committee on schools." 

X THOMAS LEROY AUGHINBAUGH 

The "Bug", who is assistant cashier of the Kaldenbaugh Bank 
at New Philadelphia, Ohio, writes : 

"Your very rigid examination list at hand. I always steered clear 



of midsummer 'exams', but I do not want to flunk clear out, so 
here goes. 

1. My present business address is the same as it was in 1904, 
New Philadelphia, Ohio, with no prospective change. 

2. My present home address is the same, and I do not anticipate 
any change providing my wife continues to put up with my presence. 

3. I am still connected with the same banking institution as in 
1904, in the capacity of Ass't Cashier. 

4-5. You perhaps noticed when I was with you in 1904, that I 
was married. I may have forgotten to tell you, but you no doubt 
had a record of it, and she still lives. 

6. On March 21, 1905, Elizabeth Rebecca Aughinbaugh was 
born. She is our only child and is at present a lively little chick. 
I will bring her to Princeton in 1914." ("Bug", see that you do it.) 
"If she had been a boy, he certainly would have entered Princeton 
at some future day. 

7-8. None. 

9. Answered in No. 6. 

10. In 1906 and 1907 I was City Auditor of New Philadelphia, 
and would have been in 1908-9 had there not been too many that 
voted for the other fellow. 

11-12-13. My scholastic degrees received, books and pamphlets 
written, and inventions patented, have been so few that I am sure 
this item would not interest any of my classmates. 

And now in conclusion I am very sorry I shall not be able to be 
with you at this reunion. I look back upon the reunion in 1904 
as a very happy spot in my Hfe and never shall regret having met 
with the boys at that time. My hope is that when the great and 
glorious class of '89 shall have rounded out the quarter century that 
I may again renew those associations and lend my voice in praise 
of our beloved Alma Mater. Remember me to all the boys and do 
not forget the fact that the 'Bug' would like to be with you." 

>y^' ANDREW BANKS 

"Stumpy's" letter is as abbreviated as is his physique. Here it is : 

"Your second notice has just reached me and reminds me of the 

fact that I have been somewhat negligent in this matter. Just give 

me the same rating I had five years ago and you will be substantially 

correct. 

II 



As to the Reunion, I expect to be there. I am anxious to see the 
boys with whom I had so many pleasant associations during college 
days at old Princeton." But he was not "there". He since has 
pleaded unavoidable business. 

"Stumpy's" letter apparently means that his business and home 
address is Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa., where he is practicing 
law without a wife, and recently was, if he be not still. District 
Attorney of his county. 

, / ALFRED HAMILTON BARR 

"Allie", as he is known to us, but the Pastor of the principal Pres- 
byterian Church in Detroit, as, since 1896, he has been more for- 
mally known, tells us that his "present business address is the 
Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church, Detroit, Michigan", and that 
his "present home address is No. 567 Congress Street East, Detroit,, 
Michigan". 

"AlHe" also tells us that, on April 8, 1905, was born a son, 
Andrew Wilson Barr, who he hopes "may be some day as good a 
player on the Princeton Nine as was his Uncle 'Andy' Wilson '83".. 
"Allie's" children, accordingly, have been two sons (both living, the 
elder born January 28, 1902). He disclaims having occupied official 
positions since 1904, "unless you include occasional services in civic 
or church organizations", and also disavows the receipt during the 
last five years of any scholastic degrees or even "a narrow escape 
from any". He tells us that as regards his publications since 1904, 
"two or three sermons and a couple of lectures are the extent of 
my transgressions in this direction". 

In concluding "Allie" adds : 

"Don't get it into your head that '89 men lack interest in their 
classmates. Even if they disgorge information with the utmost 
reluctance and use that nice stamped envelope of yours for selfish 
ends, they have all got a warm spot somewhere for old Princeton. 
It surprises me how much we always seem to have in common when- 
ever we run across one another. I cannot tell you how often my 
mind runs back over the names of the fellows. I believe that the 
ties grow stronger as we grow older. 

The other day I was in Santa Barbara, California, and was hardly 
settled in my room when the bell rang and a familiar voice called 





JASON ROGERS BARR 



up from the office, 'Is this AlHe Barr '89?' It was almost worth a 
trip across the continent to have that hour and a half with Al 
McCord, talking over '89 and the days since then. When I think of 
Denver I think of Jim Thorpe, and so with other men scattered 
elsewhere over the country. I think especially just now of a de- 
lightful hour or two with Sill, where we met by accident last sum- 
mer in a Massachusetts town. What a splendid, modest, capable 
fellow he was ! He was looking forward then to the 20th anniver- 
sary. I do not believe I ever looked forward to anything with more 
eagerness than to this anniversary. We will all be there, 'Lengthy', 
every last portly, bald-headed fellow in the bunch. The absence of 
some faces which we shall never see on the old Campus again, will 
only draw into closer friendship those of us who are there." 

"Allie", come back in 1914. It wouldn't be a reunion if you 
were absent. 



^ JASON ROGERS BARR k 

Jason Rogers Barr died at Lexington, Kentucky, August 18, 1906, 
and on the following day was buried in Louisville, Kentucky. 

Born January 5, 1868, he attended the public schools of Louisville, 
until prepared to enter the High School, and then commenced his 
three years' attendance at the private school of Prof. Jason Che- 
tiault. Thence he went to Princeton and spent the four years ending 
with June, 1889, as an undergraduate in the civil engineering 
department. 

After our graduation, he remained some months in Princeton, 
supervising, first, the installation of the Princeton Water Company's 
mains, and, later, the grading and laying out of the present athletic 
field of the University. 

He then moved to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where, as an assistant 
engineer, he aided in the construction work of the Newport News 
and Mississippi Valley Company. 

Next he was employed by the Huntington Line between Memphis 
and Louisville and then by the Ohio Valley Railroad Company, in 
each instance as an assistant engineer. In 1895 he moved to Lex- 
ington, Kentucky, and entered the service of the Lexington and 
Eastern Railway Comipany, a service unbroken until his death. At 
first Engineer of Maintenance of Way, he was promoted in March, 

13 



1897, to the position of General Manager, and this position he held 
.when he died. 

Exposure during an inspection trip produced pleurisy, and after 
six months of illness Jase passed away. 

On February 20, 1895, he married Miss Elizabeth Nelson Wood, 
daughter of the Hon. Hunter Wood, of Hopkinsville, Ky. 

Their children born before Jason's death were two sons, John 
Watson Barr, born April 29, 1896, and Jason Rogers Barr, Jr., born 
February 21, 1899 (both now Hving), and one daughter, who died 
four days after her birth and on March 21, 1901. 

Despite the shortness of her stay, this little girl showed to Jason's, 
heart what it was to have a daughter, and from the day she left him 
it was his fondest hope that another daughter would come to him.. 

Jase lived to the very threshold of the realization of his dream,, 
for the day of his funeral there came into this world Elizabeth Barr. 

In accord with the spirit of our class meeting held at Princeton, 
June 14, 1909, the class secretary sent this little girl a string of 
gold beads bearing a gold tag which was inscribed on one side 
"Elizabeth Barr" and on the other "Princeton '89". With the 
beads went the following note : 

"32 Nassau Street, 

New York City, June 23, 1909. 
Dear Elizabeth: 

You never knew your father. We knew him, and the afifection of 
our college days, undiminished through seventeen years, followed 
him to his grave. 

Little girl, you cannot understand this letter now; but, in time to 
come, you will know its meaning. 

Some day, little girl, you will marry. We trust that the man to 
whom you give your hand will be as ready to love you, as worthy 
for you to love, as your father would have been, if he had lived. 

As a symbol of our love in the past, as a gage of our hope for 
the future, we send you a necklace and ask that, when you wear it, 
you remember why and whence it came. 

The Class of '89 of Princeton University 
(your father's class), 
by Philip Ashton Rollins, 

Class Secretary. 

To Miss Elizabeth Barr." 

14 



The class, at its meeting mentioned above, adopted the following 
resolution : 

"Be it resolved that the class of '89 hereby testifies to its deep 
sense of loss in the untimely death of Jason Rogers Barr. 

To each member of the class has come a personal grief, and to 
the class itself a wide breach in its ranks. 

Admiring Jason Barr for his ability and his strength, and loving 
him for his generous and kindly heart, we miss him as a companion, 
we long for his friendly word, and we grieve over the empty place 
he has left in his world and ours; but also we rejoice mightily that 
he lived, that for a time he was so much ours, and that in the outer 
world he so fulfilled the expectations of his college days, that when 
death claimed him it meant, not only a personal loss to personal 
friends, not only the departure of a tender husband and loving 
father, but also, and even more than these, it meant that the State 
had been deprived of one of its strongest and best workers, that the 
world had lost a man." 



SAMUEL McKEAN BAYARD 

"Mac" writes: 

"As requested in your communication received this very morning, 
I am writing you 'as soon as possible'. While my 'history' for the 
past five years can not prove of any general interest, yet, as the late 
and lamented Orris used to instruct us, 'I will endeavor to do my 
duty'." ("Mac" used actual Greek letters, which your secretary, 
in self defense, has omitted.) 

"To answer, or rather to give you the definite information you 
desire, I will run down your list of fourteen sections, giving the 
data as briefly as possible. 

1. I have no present business address. 

2. My home address is Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pa., and 
there is no immediate prospect of any change in it. 

3. I am not now in business, but until August, 1907, was with 
the Penna. Rail Road. 



4-5- 



6. Daughter, 15 January, 1905, Philadelphia. Name, if you want 
it, Frances McKean Bayard. 



IS 



7- 

8. Never had any sons. 

9. Two daughters living, all I ever had" (elder born May 26, 
1902). 

''10. None that I think come under your list. 

11-13. 

14. In August, 1907, I left the Penna. Rail Road and had 
arrangements under way, though not completed, to enter the banking 
business in the fall of that year, but the financial panic upset things 
to the 'Queen's taste', as every one knows. In January of last year 
Mrs. Bayard's health broke down and in March we went to England 
and remained abroad until October. While I hope to get to the 
Reunion, yet, if I am not there, it will be because I am not able to 
be away from home, for even such a short time, but if I am not 
present this year I shall look forward with the full intention of 
being on hand at our quarter century reunion in 1914. 

At present I have certain religious activities, so to speak, besides 
personal business matters on hand, but Mrs. Bayard's physicians 
may order her across the water again on short notice, hence I am 
not at present in active business. 

This is a dull and uninteresting epistle, but I look forward with 
pleasure to reading the doings of the rest of the class during the 
past five years." 



^ 



EUGENE WALKER BELKNAP 



"Mose" writes a long letter expressing his individual, and not very 
flattering, opinion of your class secretary, to which he adds : 

"I have no news in particular for the Class and am still plugging 
away at medicine here in Syracuse. My address, both house and 
office, is 313 James Street, Syracuse, N. Y., with no expected change. 
I have had but one child, a son, born February i, 1898, and still 
alive. 

I have been for several years Associate Professor of Obstetrics 
and Clinical Director of Obstetrics in the Medical College of Syra- 
cuse University, and also Attending Obstetrician to the Hospital of 
the Good Shepherd and the Syracuse Free Dispensary." 

"Mose" acted as House Surgeon at our recent reunion. 



16 



EDWARD PAYSON BERRY 

Berry reports himself as "a village preacher" at Hoosick Falls, 
New York, and says that his present address is No. 130 Church 
Street, in that place, with no expected change. 

He gives us the sad news that his wife died November 5, 1905. 

His only child, a daughter (born February 16, 1897), died on 
April 21, 1897. 

Berry, wholly mistaken, adds : "My existence is of so ordinary 
a character that my 'Classmates' could only be depressed by hearing 
about it. I still live." 

The class has a memory, and what it remembers about Berry 
makes the class insistent that he attend the next reunion. 

J FREDERICK BLACK 

From the eel grass of the Delaware River and the shores of Hog 
Island, now more politely designated as "Black's Island", comes the 
following information, and came to our reunion the b(Wy of Fred 
Black himself. 

The class now notifies him to attend every class gathering here- 
after, in order that each class function may be assured of success. 

Black tells us that his only address is Black's Island, Delaware 
County, Pennsylvania, via. Station Paschall, Philadelphia, and that 
his business is that set forth in our Decennial Record (i. e. manag- 
ing his family's estate and incidentally farming). 

He has had one daughter (born December 3, 1889) and two sons 
(born respectively February 4, 1892, and August 17, 1898), all of 
whom are living. 

WILLIAM ROSCOE BONSAL 

"Rocky" confines himself to terse answers to the specific ques- 
tions asked by your secretary. Of course, he was at the reunion. 
"Rocky's" office and social address is Hamlet, N. C, where, under 
the firm name of "W. R. Bonsai & Co.", he is engaged in a general 
contracting and lumber business. The only change in his family, 
since our reunion of five years ago, has been the birth, on May 29, 
1905, of a son, Warwick Potter Bonsai. "Rocky", accordingly, has 
had two sons (the elder born February 13, 1901) and one daughter 

17 



(born Nov. 8, 1902), all of whom are living. He denies having 
held official positions, received scholastic degrees or published any- 
thing since our last reunion. 

E. SHIRLEY BORDEN 

/ 
V"^ Borden tells us that his business, as well as his social address is 

Media, Pennsylvania, where he is engaged in farming, and has held, 
or holds, the official position of "Road Supervisor". Those of the 
class who are familiar with the country about Philadelphia can 
readily picture the hardships of a tiller of the soil in that inhospit- 
able and forbidding region — a region so inhospitable and so forbid- 
ding, that a farmer frequently has to motor some distance to reach 
his country club. 

Borden's living children are one daughter (born May 29, 1893) 
and one son (born February — , 1896). His only other child, a 
daughter (born October 10, 1891), died April 2^^, 1892. 

/' 
/ DAVID BOVAIRD, JR. 

Unlike the majority of the members of the class, David writes an 
actual letter. It reads as follows: 

"Your fourteen questions give one a fore-taste of the day of 
judgment. Who are you any way that you should hale us to the 
bar and drag from us the confession of our deficiencies and derelic- 
tions? Oh, well! I remember your early propensity for interro- 
gations, and forgive you, you can't help it. 

And yet when I look back over the past five years and try to find 
something of interest to the Class of '89, I am not a little taxed. 
Life has flown on very smoothly with me. Every position I occupy 
I have had for five years or more. My home is the same, my wife 
and children all the same as in 1904 ! And yet life has not been so 
humdrum as this record might suggest. I've gone steadily on with 
my work in the hospital and teaching in the Medical School, and 
have enjoyed it all. And when you add to these things the effort 
to make a living out of the practice of medicine, if you know any- 
thing of the subject, you will understand that I have not been idle. 
Speaking of that teaching reminds me just in time of one of the 
notable features of the recent years. Cy Pershing will undoubtedly 
tell you how he has at last awakened to the fact that the only appro- 

18 



priate calling for a gentleman and a scholar is that of medicine. 
So some years ago he entered the College of Physicians and Sur- 
geons and in due time appeared in my classes. Except that his 
brow had risen almost to the back of his head, he was the same old 
Anarchist, and I leave you to imagine what joy it must have been to 
instruct him in the mysteries of the healing art. I shall always 
cherish the smiles of kindly indulgence with which the Anarchist 
would regularly accompany his recitations. After seeing them I 
always felt that it would be unkind in me to push the question too 
far. Dear old Anarchist, may he find fields ripe for the harvest in 
Denver ! 

The practice of medicine never loses its attraction. As the poet 
once said of some other fair charmer, "Age cannot wither nor 
custom stale her infinite variety ! What with Christian Science, 
Emmanuel Movements and the normal advance of rational medicine, 
one has had to step lively to keep up with the procession. So you 
see that I have just been one of the quiet citizens of the land, doing 
my daily task as best I could and happy in the doing (^ it. What 
more could one ask?" 

At the foot of this letter, David adds the following more specific 
information : 

His present home and office address is No. 126 West 58th Street, 
New York City. This address, he has no intention of altering. 
There have been no changes in his family the last five years. He 
has had one daughter (born March 13, 1900) and one son (born 
June 19, 1901), both of whom are living. He was Secretary of 
Section IV of the International Congress on Tuberculosis at Wash- 
ington, D. C, in 1908. 

He has also written, in the last five years, the following merry 
little novelettes : 

"Portals of Entry and Sources of Infection in Tuberculosis of 
Children" (N. Y. State Journal of Medicine, September, 1906). 

"The Weights of the Viscera in Infancy and Childhood" (Arch. 
of Pediatrics, 1906). 

"Trichinosis" (Am. Jour. Med. Sc, 1906). 

"The Differentiation of Common Types of Protracted Fever" 
(Am. Jour. Med. Sc, 1909) 

"Meningococcus Septicemia" (Arch. Int. Med., 1909). 

Your secretary is credibly informed that but one person has ever 

19 



i 



had the disorder the scientific name for which is the title of David's 
last work, and that, when that title got tangled crosswise inside the 
patient, nothing could save him, and his tongue burst into ten 
thousand fragments. 

EDWARD LANDSEER BOYLE 

Boyle, writing on the letterhead of "Boyle & Boyle, Real Estate, 
45 Byrd Building, Memphis, Tenn.", says : 

"I delayed answering, in the hope of finding time to amplify your 
statistical interrogatories with something interesting. I am engaged 
in the real estate business in Memphis, Tennessee, and am the nomi- 
nal head of a happy family consisting of my wife and five children ; 
one girl and four boys. 

We received an invitation to Mrs. Neher's reception yesterday, 
and I made a compact with my wife, that we would attend the very 
next Princeton Finals that caught us without a baby at the bottle. 
You can see from my boy record that I am doing my full duty to 
old Princeton, in a quiet, persistent sort of fashion. The Confed- 
erate Reunion opens to-day in Memphis, the streets are filled with 
the old veterans ; and while I write this, a band is playing an air 
that carries me back to the old elm-shaded campus as it was twenty 
years ago. With kindest regards to all." 

Get a demijohn for the baby of 19 14, and bring him to Princeton 
in June of that year. 

Prior to our fifteenth reunion, Boyle's children had been one 
daughter (born November 9, 1898) and two sons (born respect- 
ively November 30, 1900, and October 31, 1903). His later chil- 
dren are Charles (born April 19, 1905) and John Bayard (born 
January 26, 1908). 

WILLIAM COUGHLIN BRAISLIN 

"Bill's" office and house address are identical : 556 Washington 
Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. The Doctor writes: 

"My wife is living and in good health. One daughter has been 
born since 1904, namely, Alice Cameron Braislin, born February 
18, 1906. The three children previously reported in the record, all 
three boys" (born respectively August 16, 1893, March 5, 1896, and 
January 13, 1901) "are living and in good health, as is also the 



little girl. Have occupied no official positions, except of a very 
minor sort, other than those previously reported. I still occupy 
my position of Aural Surgeon in Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hospital. 
I have published a few papers relating to my special branch of 
medicine since 1904." 

Doctor "Bill", prescribe for yourself a trip to Princeton in June, 
1914. 

I,/ WILLIAM DANIEL BRATTON 

"Bill" tells us that: "There is nothing for me to report. I am 
still Editor of The Cecil County News, a weekly newspaper, pub- 
lished at Elkton, Maryland. Am unmarried and live with my sisters 
at Elkton. There have been no occurrences in my life the past five 
years of interest to the class." "Bill", there must be an event of 
interest to the class in June, 1914; and that will be your presence 
I at the reunion. 

DESHA BRECKINRIDGE 

'^ "Breck" is President of The Lexington Herald Company, which 
publishes "The Lexington Herald". His brief letter reads as fol- 
lows: 

"In response to the queries on the form which I have just re- 
ceived, my present address is Lexington, Kentucky, without any 
prospect of change. 

There has been no change in my address, family or business 
during the past five years." 

This latter means that "Breck" has had no children. 

"Breck", Princeton and June, 1914, must coincide, or the class 
will make Mrs. Breckinridge a widow. 

JOHN MILTON BROOKS 

^ Brooks sent by return mail a letter which, though short in form, 
was definite and accurate. He is President of the Birmingham 
Building & Improvement Company, which is engaged in the busi- 
ness of general contractors and builders, with its office at 2109 First 
Avenue, Birmingham, Alabama. He gives his house address as 
2920 Juniper Avenue, Birmingham, Alabama, but says : "I expect 
to change October first and cannot give you now any definite house 



address." He has had no children and adds that "nothing of 
interest" has happened in his life the last five years, as "I am leading 
the usual life of a business man with occasional intermissions for 
vacations". . 

ARTHUR AUDLEY BROWNLEE 

"Bum" has always been square in his actions, but he is rapidly 
becoming cubical in his figure. 

"Bum" arrived at the reunion, accompanied by a toothache of 
about his own size; and hence had to be excused from the writing 
of a letter. He has communicated, however, the statements that his 
present address is No. lo Wall Street, New York City, and that, 
the past five years, as before, he has been engaged in mining. During 
the forepart of the last five years, he was President of the Columbus 
& Hocking Coal & Iron Company and he is now President of the 
Tuscarora & Nevada Mines Company. He has never married. The 
last five years have taken "Bum" frequently to Alaska, Nevada, 
Hayti and other suburbs of Princeton. He is reputed to be the 
dearest friend the Pullman Car Company has. 

CHARLES K. CARPENTER 

Carpenter, who now is, and for many years heretofore has been, 
of the well-known law firm of Daly, Hoyt & Mason, at 15 William 
Street, New York City, writes : 

"Your 'second notice' comes peremptorily. You might note for 
the record, if you will, that I am still a lawyer, at the same address 
(15 William St.) and with the same firm as for these last fifteen 
years. My home address is Scarsdale, N. Y., where I built a house 
some two years ago. 

I strongly hoped to go to Princeton for the reunion next month, 
but cannot arrange to do so, unless perhaps for a few hours only." 

Unfortunately, business prevented his going to Princeton, even 
"for a few hours". No engagements must be allowed to interfere 
in June, 1914. 

/" 
V GEORGE HERBERT CARTER 

"Bert", in terse answers to the printed questions, states that his 
address is Huntington, Long Island, New York, where he is still 



^ 



engaged in his practice as a physician ; that the only addition to his 
family in the last five years has been a daughter, born July ii, 1907; 
and that she, with his other daughter (born October 4, 1895) and 
his two sons (born respectively May 23, 1898, and February 22, 
1903) still lives. 

WILUAM SABIN CHASE 

"Boogus" gives his office address as Woods' Block, and his home 
address as 144 East Market Street, each in Akron, Ohio. He adds 
the scant information that now, as before, he is a practicing physi- 
cian and that he has had no children. "Boogus" atoned for the 
brevity of his letter by appearing at the recent reunion. After this 
first sight of him as an alumnus, the class insists that he attend 
every reunion hereafter. 

FREDERICK JOSEPH CHURCH ^ 

Fred's business and home addresses are each Wailuku, Hawaii. 
From 1904 to 1907 he was successively Manager of the Haleiwa, 
Seaside, and Royal Hawaiian Hotels; and, since 1907, has been the 
sole agent for Hawaii of Tansan water. He has had no children. 
Fred's short letter concludes : 

"Just recovering from bad accident, falling into canon with 
horse and buggy on me. Otherwise would write long letter. Aloha." 

The whole class will fall on him, unless he appears at Princeton 
in June, 19 14. 

HENRY WORKMAN CONNER, JR. 

"Roger's" law office still continues at 13 Broad Street, and his 
home address at 43 Meeting Street, each Charleston, South Carolina. 
He has in all two children, one son and one daughter (twins, born 
July 12, 1899), both of whom are living. He disclaims having held 
official positions save "some political ones for conduct of elections". 

In conclusion he says : 

"I have been going ahead trying to attend to my business. My 
latitude is unfavorable for seeing much of my class, which is a 
great regret to me. I hope to get on to the reunion and help '89 

23 



whoop it up. It would do me a great deal of good and I am looking 
forward to being there. My interest in old Princeton and '89 is as 
keen as ever." 

Unfortunately, at the last moment, "Roger" was prevented from 
attending the reunion. 

ALONZO EDWARD CONOVER, JR. 

"Connie" writes : 

"As it appears from your registered letter that the matter is 
urgent, I hasten to answer your fourteen questions, which in my 
case can be given in condensed form." Then follow, in disgustingly 
condensed form, the statements that his office address is 51 Cham- 
bers Street, and his house address is no West 84th Street, each in 
the City of New York; that his vocation is architecture and that 
his only child, a son (born January 23, 1900) is still alive. 



^i WILLIAM JUDSON COOK 

"Yup" says: 

"My present address is 511 Washington Street, Mariettta, Ohio, 
with no prospective change. This will answer for both business and 
social address. 

Have been in the natural gas business for several years furnishing 
gas for a few small towns in Ohio. I was married at Parker's 
Landing, Pa., on June 26, 1907, to Miss Ora Galbreath. There are 
no deaths or births to record. I assisted in patenting one device for 
gas wells, but it has not been of any great consequence so far, 
commercially. 

I cannot think of anything in particular that would interest the 
boys of '89. My work for the past ten years has been in the 'open' 
and I still retain my good health. Would greatly enjoy meeting 
'89 men who will gather in Princeton next month to celebrate 
twenty years of being out in the wide world. Kind regards to all 
the fellows." 

"Yup's" children have been a son (born April 16, 1889; ^i^^ 
April 17, 1889) s^d two other children still living, i. e. a son (born 
January 5, 1892) and a daughter (born May 16, 1895) — all by his 
first wife.

GEORGE LYLE CURTIS 

On the letterhead of "Geo. L. Curtis & Co., Wholesale Grocers, 
109-111 E. Church St., Elmira, N. Y.", Curtis writes the sort of a 
letter the rest of the class should write, but do not. It is as follows : 

"This letter heading will show the nature of my business and my 
business address. There is no change in prospect. My home 
address is 357 College Avenue. We have three sons living" (the 
elder two born respectively March 20, 1899, and September 29, 
1900). "The youngest was born July 26, '05, and his name is 
Lawrence Thurston. I am training the oldest for a Varsity pitcher, 
and I expect to see him in the box in 1922. 

Regret that I have nothing to say about official positions, degree, 
books or pamphlets or mechanical inventions. 

You should withdraw the insinuation in your circular that I am 
not interested in my classmates. It is with great pleasure that I see 
recorded the achievements of '89 men and a present day victory by 
the Princeton athletes fills me with joy. ^ 

I have just received a note from Halsy Sayles '98 asking the local 
Princeton men to meet in his law office to 'form some sort of an 
organization to do something for Princeton'. We feel that Elmira 
is not as well represented at Princeton as it might be." 

C^- JAMES DENNIS DENEGRE 

"Jim" is still paying rent for his law office in the Gilfillan Block, 
St. Paul, Minn., and his house address is still 307 West 6th Street 
in the same city. "Jim" writes : 

"Your formidable list of interrogatories has reached me. One- 
half of them are based upon the assumption that all of the class are 
married. It seems to me that as a lawyer you should know, if you 
do not, that the minority have rights that are entitled to recognition 
in all organizations. Several of your questions cannot be answered 
by a bachelor without embarrassment. I would therefore suggest 
that for the next record you send out two sets of questions. 

The nearest I have come since our last reunion to holding any 
official position was two and a half years ago, when I ran on the 
republican ticket for the legislature in the strongest democratic 
district in this city, and was defeated by one vote. I suppose that 
Bill Jenney will say that I was a traitor to democracy's cause, and 

25 



deserved a licking. The cause of my non-election was that one 
evening near the end of the campaign, as I was about to give a 
'beer party' at a slum hotel, one of the ladies of a theatrical show 
stopping in the house, discovered the refreshments, gave the alarm, 
and chorus girls appeared from every quarter in all kinds of cos- 
tumes. By the time the thirsty voters arrived on the scene the beer 
was all gone, and as my time was all taken and I could not give 
another party in the same place, my political ambitions were doomed. 
My platform, however, has always been the same as when I was 
the executive head of the old Democratic Guard, in the fall of '88. 

My business and home address have not changed. I am still prac- 
ticing law. The experiences I have are the same as those which 
any lawyer meets with in his work. I am enjoying a fair measure 
of success, and feel very little older than when we graduated twenty 
years ago. I still keep more or less interested in athletics and 
every day enjoy a two or three mile pull in a shell on the river. 

I seldom see any of the '89 men out here, though I occasionally 
meet a classmate in Chicago or other places. Sam Thorpe, in 
Minneapolis, and Winton, in Duluth, are the only other members 
of our class in this state. 

I have been laying my plans for some time to be present at the 
reunion in June. I expect to come early and stay right through." 

"Jim" fulfilled his expectations, and, having come a week ahead 
of the reunion, hovered about the place in which it had been held, 
until no one could have had a suspicion that there was any reunion 
left. 

Some of the wiseacres of the class suspect that "Jim" is to be 
married within the next century, as, during the recent reunion, he 
was very anxious to organize a syndicate for the purchase of an 
expensive silver cup to be given to that member of the class who, at 
our fortieth reunion, shall have the youngest child. 

\ WILLIAM FREDERICK DIX 

Why cannot other members of the class copy the example of 
Dix and write a letter which may be printed verbatim in the record ? 
Dix writes : 

"In reply to your circular letter, my present home address is 177 
Harrison St., East Orange, N. J., and my business address is on 

26 



this letterhead (Secretary's Office, The Mutual Life Insurance 
Company of New York, 32 Nassau Street, New York City). On 
May I, 1906, I resigned the editorship of 'Town and Country' and 
"became Secretary of this Company. I have one son , Tennille Dix, 
born November 21, 1902, and one daughter, Alison Joy Dix, born 
November 3, 1905." (He has had no other children.) 

"On May 7, 1909, I was elected Governor of the Society of 
Colonial Wars of the State of New Jersey, having been Registrar 
of the Society for several years previously. 

I have written the following books since 1904 : 'The Face in the 
Girandole', a romance of old furniture, pubHshed by Moffat, Yard 
and Co. in 1906, and 'The Lost Princess', a novel, same publishers 
in 1907. Have also contributed occasionally to the magazines, but 
my duties as Secretary of this company do not leave me a great 
amount of time or energy for other work." 



I HORACE WARDNER EGGLESTON 



M 



"Eg" is one of the foremost alienists of the country, but he is 
no alien to Princeton spirit, as he clearly showed at the reruiion. 
The weight of your secretary was reduced some six German pfunds, 
in procuring the presence of Eggleston at the reunion and the 
disgorgement of the letter below. But the game proved well worth 
the candle. Here is the letter : 

"While I am certain that the entire class of 1889 will be deeply 
interested in not reading the very prosaic account of my wander- 
ings since I left old Nassau they will have to blame it on you. I 
will tell you the sad story in skeleton, and if you care to print any 
of it, I shall be glad to see a copy of it. 

After leaving Princeton, I studied two years in a medical school, 
was attacked by disease and obliged to leave. Before returning I 
thought that I would mend my finances somewhat and went to work 
for the New York World as an ordinary plain reporter, which 
position I occupied for about two years, after which I engaged in 
some desultory business and graduated in medicine in 1895. Recol- 
lecting the much vaunted opportunities of the West I went West, 
at least I went a little way, namely, to Laporte, Ind., where I took 
up the practice of medicine in a Sanitarium. Sanitarium very 
kindly failed ? few months after this, and I returned to New York 

27 



City, where I commenced the practice of medicine in Harlem. This 
I followed but a few months, at the end of which time some man 
or body of men tempted me to enter the service of the State hos- 
pitals. An examination was needed which through some fortunate 
accident I passed. It gave me a position as Medical Interne at 
Binghamton State Hospital, Binghamton, N. Y. I was at that time- 
the last man on the staff, but chance has been such that I succeeded, 
seven years after this time (1896), in being made first assistant 
physician to this hospital. 

On September 8, 1904, I married Miss Mable E. Dunn, of Bing- 
hampton, N. Y. George Dunn Eggleston, born August 2, 1905, is 
not quite ready for college yet, but when he is ready will be a 
Princeton man. 

A natural inclination toward mechanics led me so far to forget 
myself as to patent a fire extinguisher, which I did two years since.. 

I never had such a time in my life as I did at the reunion. I will' 
come again if you will let me know when." 

The next "when" will be June, 1914, and the "when" will last 
from Friday until Wednesday. If Eggleston does not come back 
to the next "when", the class must procure his incarceration in hiy 
own asylum. 



^ 



JOHN SEYMOUR EMANS 



"Emmie", who is an unmarried physician and childless surgeon, 
lives and has his office at 78 Irving Place, New York City. This 
bachelor modestly says that his publications the last five years have 
been "none worth mentioning". He continues that he has been, and 
is. Instructor in Medicine and Assistant Attending Physician at the 
New York Post Graduate Hospital. "My chief interest has been 
in the practice of my profession, in seven clubs and societies of 
which I am a member, and my annual trip either to Europe or in 
this country ; or camping, canoeing and fishing either in Newfound- 
land or Canada." 

H. WARD FORD 

-4 "Fordie," the last five years, has continued with the Windsor 
Trust Company, of which he is now a Vice-President and a Director. 
His present business address is in care of that company at No. 65 

28 



A 



Cedar Street, New York City, while his home address is Morris- 
town, New Jersey. 

He tells us that he has had, and fortunately still has, two daugh- 
ters (born respectively March 8, 1892, and December 20, 1895) and 
one son (born November 28, 1893), and adds: "I regret that there 
is nothing interesting to report, as I am still plodding along in the 
old way." 

When he reported his presence at our reunion, it was interesting. 

LLEWELLYN STOVER FULMER 

Fulmer, who is Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of 
Montclair, New Jersey, restricts his letter to the following: 

"Present address, 53 Church Street, Montclair, N. J. My busi- 
ness is still the ministry. My two sons living" (born respectively 
August 5, 1894, and December 24, 1897). "Received degree of 
D.D. from Wooster University June, 1906." 

Fulmer will receive the degree of Dead Divine, unless he attends 
our twenty-fifth reunion. 

SIDNEY DALE FURST 

"Sid" writes : 

"My present business address is Lock Haven, Pa., with no 
prospective change. My home address the same. I am still a 
lawyer and expect so to continue to the end of the chapter. I was 
married August 12, 1903, and have two sons, the first one born 
September 5, 1904, and the second born April 26, 1909. The whole 
family is in the best of health. We have lost no children and have 
the aforesaid two sons now living. 

I have occupied no official positions, except such as have pre- 
sented themselves in the line of my profession, and none of which 
are of autobiographical importance. As heretofore the only books 
I have written are paper books for the higher Courts, but all of 
which, I am pleased to report, by their results have justified the 
effort expended upon them. The one great fact of my life is that 
I am a very happy man and in the enjoyment of many blessings. 
If I can regulate my adjournments to my own satisfaction, I shall 
certainly have the pleasure of seeing you in June at old Nassau." 

"Sid" fortunately regulated his adjournments to the satisfaction 

29 



of the class, as well as to his own, for he was able to see the reunion 
commence, continue, and end. 

\\ WILLIAM JAMES GEORGE 

"Henry" George needs to have a doctor give him a large dose of 
self-appreciation. He says : 

"You know one does not take kindly to writing about himself, 
especially some do not. I am still doing what I can to unfold the 
minds and hearts of some of the boys at Lawrenceville. My present 
address is Lawrenceville, N. J. I have received no degrees, written 
no books nor patented any airship." 

On June 19, 1907, "Henry" was married at Lawrenceville to Miss 
Esther M. Baker, of York, England. 

"Henry" modestly states that he is doing what he can to unfold 
the minds and hearts of some of the boys at Lawrenceville. Gradu- 
ates of that school, since "Henry" went there, bear testimony to the 
fact that "Henry's" efforts have been eminently successful, and that 
his word "some" should be changed to "many". 

GEORGE ELLIOTT GILLESPIE 

H Gillespie had written a more condensed letter, it would have 
been invisible. His address is still Coatesville, Pa., where he is 
Pastor of the Coatesville Presbyterian Church. His son John 
Runyon Gillespie, who was born June 20, 1898, died ^pril 3, 1909. 
/His two daughters (born respectively July 10, 1894^' and January 
5, 1903), and his son, George E. Gillespie,V Jr. (born December 5, 
1906), still live. Since 1904 Gillespie has been a member of the 
School Board of Coatesville. 

WILLIAM FLEMING GILLILAND 

One of the pleasantest features of the recent reunion was the 
presence of Gilliland, who, like "Boogus" Chase, had suffered 
twenty years at hard labor, without meanwhile seeing Princeton. 

GilHland's address is Gettysburg, Pa., where "I am still engaged 
in farming with slight prospects of a change". Gilliland has had two 
sons (born respectively October 10, 1897, and May 2, 1900) and 
two daughters (born respectively April 8, 1892, and Nov. 12, 1893), 

30 



all of whom are living. He says that the official positions held by 
him "have been of no importance", and concludes: "Still have an 
interest in Princeton." 



/ 



THEODORE GRANGER GORDON 



"The", whom Predestination has determined shall attend our 
next reunion, gives us, meanwhile, the following interesting letter: 

"For the past several months, I have been trying to arrange my 
business matters in such shape as to make it possible for me to be 
with you at the 'BIG DOINGS' at Princeton this month, but 
affairs have not turned out as expected, so am to be deprived the 
pleasure of being at the reunion. 

In regard to information for 'Class Record', will say that my 
present business address is Wilcox Building, Los Angeles, Cal., and 
my home address, North Los Robles Ave., Pasadena, Cal. 

I am still associated with my brother in the Mining Business, 
under the firm name of Gordon & Company. 

I have not, as yet, joined the ranks of the Benedic'^s, and have 
absolutely no prospects along this line. 

As to your questions lo to 13 inclusive, will say, 'Nothing doing'. 

I sincerely regret that I cannot send along some news that might 
be of interest to the boys, but my life for the past five years has 
been practically free from any of those experiences and exciting 
incidents that go towards making 'newsy stuff'. I have been hard 
at it trying to do my share towards developing some mining prop- 
erties located in Nevada and California, and while I have met with 
a fair measure of success, am still quite a distance from 'Easy 
Street'. 

We have a good bunch of Princeton men in this section of the 
country, and the Princeton Club of Southern California is doing 
good work in keeping up the Princeton spirit. I am at the present 
time Vice-President of this organization." 



/ 



MALBONE WATSON GRAHAM 



For a number of years past, Malbone has been wandering over 
the face of the earth ; but, unfortunately, his travels did not bring 
him to Princeton at the time of our recent reunion. He, however, 
writes : 

31 



"i. My present business address is Dubuque, Iowa. 

2. My present home address is the same as the business address, 
and both are subject to change without notice. But mail sent to 
me at Dubuque will always reach me. 

3. I am still a minister, tho no longer a foreign missionary. 
From November, 1904, to June, 1905, I was stated supply of the 
Second (or Northern) Presbyterian Church of Jonesboro, Tenn. 
From November, 1905, to April, 1908, I was pastor of the mission 
church at Barranquilla, Colombia, South America. During the year 
following I resided' at Ocean Grove, N. J. In May of the present 
year I removed with my family to Dubuque. 

Questions 4, 5, 6 and 7 need no answer. 

8. I have one son living, to-wit, Malbone, Jr. 

9. My only daughter is an adopted one, a little Spanish Amer- 
ican from Bogota. 

10. None other than those mentioned. 

11. In June, 1906, I received the degree of Doctor of Divinity 
from Lenox College, Iowa. 

12 and 13. None. 

14. After being something of a wanderer on the face of the 
earth during the last five years, I expect to settle down in some 
more permanent abode in this country. The question of an educa- 
tion for our boy led us to give up the missionary work. As my first 
period of missionary service in Colombia was confined almost 
exclusively to school work, I was glad to be assigned to evangelistic 
work. I went to a church that was 'ready to perish' of neglect. I 
reorganized it and got it on its feet. With a session of native 
elders and a new enthusiasm infused into the membership, the 
church surpassed all previous records in Colombia for aggressive 
work. The impulse given it has not died out, and the church gives 
promise of permanent usefulness. A gratifying experience in con- 
nection with the Presbyterian Church at Asbury Park has put me 
in touch with the conditions of church life in this country." 

NORMAN GREY 

Norman, who was prevented from attending the reunion by the 
death of a relative, writes as follows: 

"In reply to your fourteen questions, I inform you as follows: 

32 



^ 



1. 104 Market Street, Camden, New Jersey. No prospective 
change. 

2. 125 Evergreen Avenue, Woodbury, New Jersey. No antici- 
pated change. 

3. My business now, and since June, 1904, is and has been the 
practice of the law. 

4. I am thankful to say no answer need be given to this horrible 
question. 

5. I am innocent of bigamy. 

6. None. / 

7. Same answer as No. 4. / 

8. No son living." (Norman's only son, born April 17, 1897, 
died February 19, 1902). / 

"g. Three daughters" (born respectively January 12, 1896, Aug- 
ust 28, 1900, and October 8, 1903). 

"10. In 1906 I was elected President of the West Jersey Trust 
Company, and have been annually elected since. 

11. Nit. * 

12. Numerous briefs; good, bad and indifferent, but I suppose 
they are not books or pamphlets. 

13. No patents. 

14. Should I really state other facts, which for the past five 
years are of interest to me, and if you published my answer, the 
class record would look like Webster's unabridged. I have been 
enjoying health and happiness, more than I deserve, so let it go 
at that." 

ALEXANDER READING GULICK 

"The Governor" has been and gone and done it. "The Governor", 
who, as this book goes to press, is a married man, is President of 
the Princeton Club of New York, and is probably very seasick on his 
way to Europe, gives us the following brief on the facts : 

"Replying to your circular I give you information as follows : 

1. 165 Broadway, Borough of Manhattan, New York City. No 
prospective change of address. 

2. The 'Lorraine', 2 East 45th Street, New York City. No 
anticipated change of address. 

3. Practicing law. No prospective change. 

4.

5- Married April 29, 1909, in Pittsburgh, Pa., to Miss Annie 
Larimer Rhodes. 

6-9- ■ 

10. No official position, unless you regard Chairman of the 
House Committee, Vice-President and President of the Princeton 
Club of New York as such, all of which I successively have been 
since June, 1904. 

11-13. None. 

14. The only facts of interest are those recorded above, except 
that I have the privilege of acting as attorney for Mr. Andrew 
Carnegie and the Committee appointed for the construction of 
Lake Carnegie. I had general charge of the work, am still con- 
nected with it, and am Secretary of Lake Carnegie Association."

\\ GEORGE LOUIS HALL 

"Pardy's" letter is on orange paper, and bears, at the top, in 
black letters, the title, "The National Railway Materials Company". 
The text of the letter is : 

"Your circular just received and noted. My business address is 
90 West Street and my home, the Marie Antoinette Hotel, 66th 
St. and Broadway, New York City. I am in the railroad supply 
business and have been since 1898. 

On November 28, 1908, I married Miss Florence C. Walker in 
Pittsburgh, Pa. 

In the past five years as far as I recall nothing of particular 
moment has occurred that would be interesting to my classmates. 

I look forward to our meeting next June with a great deal of 
pleasure, and sincerely trust that all the members of the class of '89 
will be present, and that we may all enjoy the reunion." 

"Pardy" participated in the most enjoyable reunion the class 
has had. 

ALBERT HALSTEAD 

"The people of the United States of America, by the Grace of 
God, Free and Independent are, as regards Birmingham, England, 
Albert Halstead. His consular invoice is : 

"i. My present business is The Consulate of the United States of 
America, Newton Chambers, 43, Cannon Street, Birmingham, Eng- 
land. If you can tell whether there is to be any prospective change 

34 



in my address, you are more of a seer than I supposed. I can never 
tell at what moment I may be kicked upstairs, and of course there 
is always the possibility that the Government may think my use- 
fulness so great that I create too high a standard for the Consular 
Service. Then again, if the end of my life here should be soon, 
and that would be a prospective change of address, how on earth 
can I tell what the future address will be? There might be some 
more peace of mind if I had a tip on that point. 

2. My present home address is 67, Wellington Road, Edgbaston, 
Birmingham, England. I am not anticipating any immediate change 
in that address as I have just moved into the house and the idea of 
moving again makes my hair turn even grayer. 

3. I am at present Consul of the United States of America, Bir- 
mingham, England. If I should endeavor to tell you the nature of 
my business it would take me too long, but one of the duties which 
is not officially scheduled is to help out stranded Americans. Other 
duties can be easily learned by reference to the Consular Regula- 
tions. I was appointed Consul April 3, 1906, confirmed the next 
day and assumed charge of the Consulate on June 15th. Up to the 
time of my passing the examination for the Consular Service with 
a better grade than any I ever obtained at Princeton, I was engaged 
in helping uphold the pillars of the Government at Washington and 
in telling through several newspapers as much of the truth as it 
was desirable in public interest to disclose. At the same time I 
wrote a number of articles for magazines and weekly newspapers, 
that helped to keep the wolf from the door and they were much 
easier to produce than many of the learned essays I inflicted on 
Dean Murray when at Princeton. 

4. Fortunately I was married before June, 1904, and more fortu- 
nately I am not compelled to answer the remainder of the question. 

5. The answer to this question was included in my report for 
1904. 

6. No children born since June, 1904. 

7. No children have died since that date. 

8. I have one son" (born Oct. 28, 1897) "whose chief ambition 
seems to be to grow out of his clothes and to exceed my height and 
weight at the same age. 

9. I have two daughters born before 1904" (on Aug. 24, 1899, 
and September 11, 1902, respectively). 

35 



"lo. The only official position I have occupied since 1904 is that 
of Consul. 

11. Unfortunately for them the great universities of the world 
have conferred no degree upon me. 

12. I have written since June, 1904, enough to fill many volumes, 
and while I have not subtracted from the sum of human knowledge 
I have had too little appreciation of my own views to print them 
in book form, a modesty that may seem surprising to those who 
knew me at Princeton and which may be explained by them on the 
ground that I did not care to hire a storage warehouse for unpub- 
lished volumes, or to have to make up for the deficit in a publisher's 
account. 

13. In reply to this hoodoo number, I will state that while those 
who do not know the newspaper business might regard that as one 
in which there were many inventions, I have patented no mechani- 
cal inventions or processes and have no temptations to do so when 
I appreciate how such plutocrats as you and some of the other mem- 
bers of the class profit while the inventor holds the bag. 

14. This question is inquisitorial. Many of the facts in connec- 
tion with my life for the past five years would probably be of pass- 
ing interest, but I never was much at confession and I have a habit 
of resenting inquiries as to my private affairs and personally desire 
to retain a reputation for average good conduct. Life has on the 
whole been calm, busy and happy, but sorrows have not been 
absent. 

I wish I could be at the reunion next June, but I had to go home 
in January and I cannot spare the time now, while the heat of a 
Princeton June would be very trying to one who has become accus- 
tomed to sitting in a temperature of about 58° and by self -hypno- 
tism persuading himself that he is comfortable. My regards and 
warm affection to '89." 

A. SCOTT HARRIS 

"Baldy" writes : 

"Your letter of June 4 with the list of 'tell mes' was forwarded 
to me from Bellefonte, Pa., and has just been received, and I hasten 
to answer it. I am sorry that I have delayed you in not having fur- 
nished you the data asked for at an earlier date, but this is the first 

36 



intimation I have had that you were still keeping tabs on me, and 
your letter takes me back over the many rough trails I have trav- 
elled since leaving 'Old Nassau', and I am glad and proud to know 
that I am not entirely forgotten. 

You boys, RolHns, that are keeping aHve the class spirit, and take 
the time, trouble and expense to go out into the byways and hedges 
and round up the 'also rans', would have your reward did you but 
know how keenly your efforts are appreciated and what a warming 
up of long dormant thoughts and impulses they bring about and 
what pleasant thoughts of old and cherished friendships they revive. 

I wish you all the good luck in the world — you and all the other 
good, old boys of '89 and their wives, children and sweethearts." 

"Baldy" adds that his permanent home address is Bellefonte, Pa., 
and that his present business address is Perris, Riverside County, 
Cal. He is now "Engineer of irrigation plant" ; and, since 1904, 
has been in charge of the Commissary of the Unite^d States Gov- 
ernment at the Roosevelt Dam in Arizona, and also Er^ineer for 
the Risdon Iron Works of San Francisco. He has never married. 

"Baldy" uses the phrase "also rans". "Baldy" must be one of 
the "also rans" towards Princeton at our next reunion in June, 
1914. K he will paste this date in his hat, he will, some months 
before the reunion, receive notice of the exact dates of the various 
class reunion events. 

EDWARD RINGWOOD HEWITT 

"Teddy's" active business is the Presidency of the Hewitt Motor 
Company, the office of which is at No. 10 East 31st Street, New 
York City. His home address is No. 127 East 21st Street, New 
York City, As to further details, he writes : 

"Since 1904 I have been m the Automobile business, constructing 
principally commercial vehicles and some pleasure cars. I have not 
had any children born or died since 1904. I have two sons and two 
daughters. I have held no public official position since 1904. Have 
been President of one or two companies, — Hewitt Motor Company 
and Hewitt Motor Truck Company, and am Treasurer of Cooper 
Union, and interested in some other concerns. I have not received 
any degrees since 1904; nor have I published any books or pam- 
phlets. I have made a number of mechanical inventions since 1904 

37 



and taken out a considerable number of patents, most of which have 
to do with gas engines and motor cars and details pertaining to 
them. 

I regret that I cannot attend the class reunion this year, as my 
business is in such shape that I cannot get away." 

The births of "Teddy's" children were as follows : sons, July 7, 
1895, and January 27, 1901 ; daughters, June 14, 1893, ^^^ J^^y 
27, 1899. 

THOMAS WOODWARD HOTCHKISS 

"Tom" states that his home and business address are each 699 
Madison Avenue, New York City, and that, since 1904, he has been 
engaged exclusively in journalistic work. For some time, and until 
he resigned, on October i, 1908, he was editor of "Town and Coun- 
try". His letter continues : 

"In one of the earlier Records I sketched a prophetic scheme of 
various professional activities I would some time undertake. I 
have done about every one of them; profited by them all — in ex- 
perience — and am now turning that experience to good account, to 
the best of my ability, though not to that degree of efficiency that 
I hope and desire to reach, in the field of free-lance Journalism. I 
have written many articles on many different subjects which I have 
sold to magazines and newspapers, and have acted as both collabo- 
rator and middleman in working with and for other writers. It 
has been an experience that has developed my self-reliance and 
originality more than anything else I have ever done, and been pro- 
portionally the more enjoyable. It is my hope that I can in some 
manner utilize this experience in the cause of Princeton." 

^ STANLEY CARNAHAN HUGHES 

In a voluminous letter of twelve words, Hughes tells us that he 
is still Rector of Trinity Church, Newport, Rhode Island, that the 
Rectory of this Church is his address, and that his only children 
have been the three sons born prior to our fifteenth reunion (on 
April 28, 1898, July 18, 1900, and June 21, 1903, respectively), and 
still living. 

JAMES HUNTER 

"Jesse's" pen produced the following : 

"Your courteous request for information for the projected pub- 

38 



lication was sent to the last address of mine that you have. I re- 
ceived it this morning in this habitat. That you may retain abiUty 
and vocabulary to swear at other dilatory fellows, I hasten to reply. 
Do not send any second notice to me. 

I and 2. 237 Bay View Avenue, Jersey City, N. J. 

3. Minister. Up to July i, 1908, in New York City. Crippled 
for some months with results of Oklahoma trip. Now appointed to 
organize a new congregation in the suburban portion of Jersey City, 
N.J. 

4 and 5. Nothing. 

6. Paul Rutherford Hunter, born at Bay Head, N. J., July 24, 
1904. 

7. Nothing. 

8. Two" (i. e., the above and another son, born September 4, 

1893)- 

"9. Nothing. 

10 to 13 inclusive. Nothing. 

14. The fact that impresses itself on me from time*to time is a 
growing wonder how I ever got through Princeton. The experi- 
ence that is most pleasing is the occasional meeting with one and an- 
other of the Class of '89, and the renewing of youth by contact 
with some of the best men I know, thereby. The hope that I most 
often cherish, is the possibiHty of seeing them for an indefinite 
number of years to come here upon earth, and, afterward, still 
knowing them beyond. 

The enclosed clipping from a recent "Outlook" I send to you as 
it relates to one of our men who most probably will not be with the 
class at its reunion." (See under Lee.) "With best wishes." 

Dear old "Jesse" or "Jake", whichever you prefer to call him, 
was, of course, at our reunion. His own death could not afifect his 
loyalty. 

FRANK CHALMERS HUSTON 

Huston, now, as for many years past, a broker in investment se- 
curities, has sent a model letter, and must produce himself at our 
next reunion. He writes : 

"There is scarcely anything worth my mentioning, or that would 
interest the class of '89 members during the past few years. Am 

2>9 



putting in my time partly in Detroit, partly in Mexico, and am inter- 
ested in some mining ventures that are doing very nicely. 

I had hoped to come to Princeton for the reunion on June the 
nth, but am afraid it is very doubtful whether my wish will be 
gratified or not. Hardly ever see any of the old Princeton boys, 
but did have the pleasure of meeting D. McCord in Detroit about a 
week ago. We also had the pleasure of having Dr. Wilson with 
us for a little banquet some five or six weeks ago, and his visit was 
very much enjoyed, not only by the alumni of Princeton, but by 
the University Club members of Detroit, with whom 'Dr. Wilson is 
a great favorite. 

Coming to the essential part of your request, I will answer your 
questions in detail : 

No. I. No change of business address. Have been at looi 
Majestic Building, Detroit, Mich., for eight years, and expect to 
continue the same address. 

No. 2. Home address still the same, viz., 1433 Grand River Ave- 
nue, Detroit, Mich. 

No. 3. Still in the brokerage business, no prospective changes. 

You can combine No. 4-5-6-7-8 and 9 and say that I have never 
been married, the chances are very much against my being married, 
consequently have no children, neither sons or daughters. I might 
add in this connection, however, that I hope I am the only member 
of '89 with this kind of a record. 

In regard to No. 10, have had no official position and never have 
sought any, and hope I never will be obliged to. 

In regard to No. 11, I very much doubt whether I was ever enti- 
tled to any scholastic degree. Of course it follows that No. 12 is 
answered by saying that I have published no books or pamphlets, 
and have nothing excepting business letters on file, neither am I of 
an inventive turn of mind and, therefore, will say in regard to ques- 
tion No. 13, that I have no mechanical invention to my credit, either 
before or since 1904. 

From this, you will see that my life has been yery prosaic and I 
presume it will continue to be as long as I am on earth. I don't 
know of anything interesting at all in regard to myself. If I did, 
I surely would tell you, but if you will join me some time on a trip 
to Mexico I certainly will do my best to make the trip both interest- 
ing and pleasant. 

40 



Regretting that I am unable to attend the reunion, as I probably 
will be, I am, with the fondest remembrance of all of the members 
of the class of '89." 

J HENRY CLAY IRONS 

''Harry" Irons still lives at Plainfield, N. J., while his office is at 
No. 320 in that simple New York City by-way known as Fifth Ave- 
nue. He is still engaged in the improving of erstwhile potato fields 
and cabbage patches on. Manhattan Island, by dividing them into 
corner lots and selling them at astonishing figures. Of the two sons 
born to him (on Feb. 16, 1898 and April 27, 1899 respectively) 
both are living, and of his two daughters one (born September 5, 
1896) is Hving. His other daughter, born September 15, 1895, died 
September 23, 1I895.

WILLIAM SHERMAN JENNEY 

This is the story of a man, to whom success has come, not by 
chance, but because he earned it. Some of you write of hard work, 
but this man's ordinary business days make the most violent efforts 
of some of you look the final stages of the "Sleeping Sickness". 

"Colonel Bill" sometime since deserted Syracuse, N. Y., and 
moved to New York City, where his house address is 301 West 82nd 
Street. During business hours, "Colonel Bill" may be found at No. 
90 West Street, New York City, where is his office, as Vice-Presi- 
dent and General Counsel of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western 
Railroad Company. The only addition to his family the last five 
years has been a daughter, born on October i, 1908, which makes 
his living children one son (born August 16, 1900) and two daugh- 
ters (i. e., daughter above and another, born January 31, 1896)/ A 
secpnd son died at birth on December 20, 1897. ^- 

FRANK SNOWDEN KATZENBACH, JR. 

If the voters of New Jersey had voted, in 1907, as well as 
"Katzy" has written the following letter, "Katzy" would now be 
Governor of his State. He says : 

"i. My present business address is 28-29-34 Forst-Richey Build- 
ing, Trenton, New Jersey. 

41 



2. My present home address is 504 West State Street, Trenton, 
New Jersey. 

3. I am practicing my profession of the law and have been ever 
since my admission to the Bar of New Jersey in November, 1892. 

4. On November 10, 1904, I married at Wincote, Pennsylvania, 
Natalie McNeal Grubb, daughter of Andrew H. McNeal. 

6. The following are the names, dates and places of birth of our 
children: Floy McNeal Katzenbach, born at Trenton, New Jersey, 
September 22, 1905 ; Frank S. Katzenbach, III, born at Trenton, 
New Jersey, June 8th, 1907; Natalie McNeal Katzenbach, born at 
Spring Lake, New Jersey, September 15, 1908. 

7. On March 17, 1909, my daughter, Natalie McNeal Katzen- 
bach, died. 

8. The number of sons now living is one. 

9. The number of daughters now living is one. 

10. I was Mayor of the City of Trenton, from January i, 1902, 
to January i, 1906. 

11. I have received no scholastic degrees. 

12. I have published no books or pamphlets. 

13. I have patented no mechanical inventions or processes. 

14. I know of no other facts concerning my life during the past 
five years which may be of interest to my class, except possibly the 
fact that on vSeptember 17, 1907, I was nominated by the Democratic 
Party of New Jersey for the office of Governor of New Jersey. 
After an arduous campaign, the election was held November 5, 
1907. The returns, until the following day, indicated my election 
l3y eight thousand majority, and the newspapers had it so reported. 
All the early returns were verified with the exception of the returns 
from one county, which reduced the majority of fifteen thousand, 
reported to have been given me, to seven thousand, so that my oppo- 
nent was elected by a majority of eight thousand. 

I had the satisfaction, however, of having received the highest 
number of votes by many thousands ever given to any Democratic 
candidate within the State of New Jersey and of having reduced the 
Republican majority from the last precedmg gubernatorial election 
from fifty-one thousand to eight thousand. At this time I had the 
pleasure of receiving a number of congratulatory letters and tele- 
grams from eighty-nine men, some of those being from classmates 
I had not seen since graduation. 

42 



Since the election of 1907, I have been devoting my time exclus- 
ively to the practice of my profession of the law, and have really 
been enjoying life more than when I was holding an official posi- 
tion". 

Your Secretary has been told by members of the 1907 State Com- 
mittee that "Katzy's" record as Mayor accounted for the loss of 
43,000 Republican votes. 



J 



VICTOR KAUFFMANN 



Straight from his editorial office, Victor sends the following letter, 
which, as appears from its text, is self-insured against the blue pen- 
cil of the class secretary: 

"Since the record of the class was published five years ago, I 
have neither made much history nor had much made for me. I am 
just about the same old six-pence, rather grayer and a bit stouter, 
but otherwise not much changed. I have the same home address, 
am in the same business and have the same wife andk children, — no 
more, and fortunately no less. My older boy, Philip Christopher, 
is at Lawrenceville, and my younger, Samuel Hay" (erroneously 
called Victor Rudolph in previous records), "is in school in Wash- 
ington, but both have figured out what class they expect to- enter 
at Princeton. My home address is 2200 Wyoming Avenue, Wash- 
ington, D. C. I am, as I have been ever since 1889, on the editorial 
staff of The Evening Star, and intend to hold on to the job, unless 
Tom Noyes takes it into his head to fire me. We are always glad to 
see Eighty Nine men at The Star office and only wish they would 
drop in oftener. I have contributed nothing of importance to lit- 
erature, nor have I invented anything but excuses for leaving the 
office earlier than I should and going out to the Chevy Chase Club 
for a game of golf. Am still in the duffer class, however. Am 
fond of automobiling, but have to hire a man to do my driving. I 
usually spend part of every summer at my little cottage in New 
Hampshire, and a part at a salmon fishing club in Canada. Last 
summer I was desperately ill, and spent several months in a hospital 
where my life was despaired of, but none would believe it now. 
Am enjoying better health than I have ever done since I was a boy. 
Have filled no positions of honor, political or otherwise. Plenty of 
■otium cum or sine dignitate, as you choose to look at it. Am look- 

43 



ing forward with the greatest pleasure to our reunion and sincerely 
hope that everyone will enjoy it as much as I expect to, for the class 
of '89 has a mighty warm place in my heart." 

Victor's children have been two sons (born October 13, 1895, 
and February 24, 1898, respectively), both of whom are living. 
The younger of them was with Victor at headquarters at our recent 
reunion, and was unfortunate enough to contract pneumonia; but, 
after transferrence to the College infirmary, under the professional 
care of "Mose" Belknap and David Bovaird, he made a good recov- 
ery. Incidentally, this youngster showed courage that the majority 
of his elders would lack. 

A WILLIAM HOWARD KING 

■■r,J 

"Billy's" office address is now, as in the five years last past, 112 
North Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pa., where he is Chief Medical 
Director of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Phila- 
delphia. His home address is Narberth, Pa. 

On May 22, 1904, was born to him a daughter, Margery L., and 
on October 11, 1907, a son, Howard C. Accordingly, "Billy's"*// 
living children are four sons (born respectively October 14, 1895,^' 
January 22, 1897, December 9, 1899 and October 11, 1907), and 
two daughters (born respectively June 26, 1898, and May 22, 1904). 
His first child, a son, died May 2, 1893. t/'^ 

"Billy" adds : 

"I have written some very poor stuff, published in various jour- 
nals, on "Moral Hazard", "Tuberculosis and Life Insurance", 
"Under Average Lives", etc. I have worn a beaten track between 
my work and my family. My work and my family, while all in all 
to me, would be dull and prosy in comparison with 'his' work or 
'his' family so that I can say nothing of interest, save to pay tribute 
to a member of '89, who shall be nameless, whose kindness will ever 
be remembered by me and mine." 

FURMAN KNEELAND 

"Sport" is still engaged in the grocery business, with his office at 
65 Hudson Street, New York City, and his home address at No. 
438 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. The only child born to him 
has been a daughter (born February 18, 1894), and she is now liv- 
ing.

"Sport" may be short in his letter, but he is "long" on Princeton 
spiyit. Reunions are to him what raw meat is to a hungry dog. 

I 
4 GRAHAM LEE 

From Pyeng Yang, Korea, comes the following letter: 
"To keep Speer from writing a young book about me, as he did 
once before, I'll have to say as the coon did, 'don't shoot, I'll come 
down'. In regard to the list of questions, here are the official an- 
swers : 

I and 2. Same old stand, Pyeng Yang, Korea, which I hope to 
hold down until the end of the chapter. 

3. Same old business — trying to help Koreans be men — Chris- 
tian men, and I wouldn't trade jobs with any of you. 

4. Same good wife, only hke wine, she grows better with age. 

5. Epso — that's Korean — you can guess what it means. 

6. One boy, born December 4, 1906. Name, Henry Moffett 
Lee, born in Pyeng Yang, Korea. 

7. Nothing to report — the bunch intact. 

8. Three; and they are all right, if I do say it. 

9. One, and she's righter than the boys. 

10. Ambassador of the Lord of Hosts. 

11. The degree of O. T. J., and if you don't know what that 
means, find out. 

12. A very important work on the subject, 'Should the Children 
of Missionaries Be Educated?' I enclose one to Rollins, hoping 
that it may do him good. 

13. None as yet, but am working on a process, with which to 
solve the following: How to make a decreasing nerve force meet 
the demands of increasing problems. 

14. My friends, there is no more beautiful sight than to watch 
the development of Christian homes among a people who have been 
accustomed to sell their women Hke brute beasts. It is a rare privi- 
lege to have the opportunity of placing your stamp of Christian 
manhood on an awakening people, and that is the privilege of the 
Korean missionary to-day. 

With greetings to all the class." 

"Jake" Hunter sends the following clipping, taken from the 
"Outlook" of April 17, 1909: 

45 



"Like many another observer of the situation at first hand, I 
have envied more than one missionary his career. But there are no 
shoes in which I would rather stand than those worn by the Rev. 
Graham Lee, of Pyeng Qang, Korea. The world of mission stud- 
ents know him as one of the two men, Moffett and Lee, who pio- 
neered that stupendously and romantically successful mission work 
in North Korea, which bids fair to prove nothing less than the es- 
tablishing of a Christian empire. For my part, I love him most as 
a fun-maker, a sunshine missionary to the missionaries. Once a 
month all the missionaries of that city, both Methodist and Presby- 
terian, get together for a frolic, with Missionary Lee as Ringmas- 
ter, so to speak. Everybody has to do some 'stunt', and woe betide 
the missionary who is caught saying a word about his 'work'. 
There have not come within my observation any other body of mis- 
sionaries who bear such a terrific burden of increasing labor. The 
greater, therefore, the need of relaxation. The nerve strain of life 
and labor in an alien community is beyond an untravelled person's 
comprehension No missionary should be sent out who has not a 
sense of humor. Happy is the station that has a resident with the 
courage and wisdom to hold his fellows rigorously to a periodical 
frolic. 

Graham Lee is pastor of Pyeng Yang's famous 'big church' 
(there were twelve hundred persons at the midweek prayer meeting 
on a wintry night when I was there) : he is also the only pastor of 
seventeen other outlying churches, which he visits on week nights; 
he is a professor in the theological seminary, superintendent of an 
industrial school that pays its own expenses, general business agent 
of the mission, and Special Committee on Good Humor for the 
whole station — a fair stint of work for one who has barely reached 
middle life. 

William T. Ellis." 

In this connection, it may not be amiss to mention that, on the 
label of a brand of flour, has appeared the statement: "It's the 
Graham that does the work," 

ROBERT CHARLES LEWIS 

' "Bobbie" writes : 

"Such replies as I could make to your catechism you will find on 
the reverse side of this sheet and on the circular itself. Sorry I 

46 



cannot report any matter of importance or that would be of inter- 
est. Am still looking for my day of great things." 

"Bobbie" adds that his home address is Riverdale, N. J., and that 
since his resignation as Treasurer of the Lincoln Trust Company, 
November i, 1907, he has not been engaged in business, but "ex- 
pects a change in the near future." Lewis has had, in all, and now 
has two sons (born respectively January 11, 1898 and March 27, 
1904) and one daughter (born October 11, 1901). 

The death of a relative and the serious illness of two of his chil- 
dren deprived us of "Bobbie's" presence at our last reunion. 

ROBERT HENRY LIFE 
\^ 

"Bobbie" tells us that he is still unmarried, and that his address 

is Haydenville, Mass., where he is minister of the Congregational 
Church. He adds : 

"The above report looks so brief that it may imply indifference, 
but it does not mean that. One who has to speak to the same people 
three or four times a week comes to think of brevity a? a very great 
virtue. Most all the events of my life are interesting to me, but I 
do not know how I could put them in the fofm of a report." 

WILLIAM T. MacMILLAN 

MacMillan writes that he is still practicing medicine at Perrine- 
ville, N. J., that his only child a son (born February 14, 1894), is 
still living and that he is "not guilty" of any of the implied accusa- 
tions made in the tenth and succeeding questions of the class circular. 

He had planned to attend our reunion, but was prevented from 
doing so. 

GEORGE THEBAUD MAXWELL 

Maxwell is still a member of the New York Stock Exchange 
firm of Maxwell & Scoville, whose offices are at No. 3 Broad Street, 
New York City. His home address is Oyster Bay, Long Island, 
N. Y. 

Maxwell's children have been two sons (born respectively March 
5, 1900, and January 20, 1902), both of whom are living. 

He concludes with the statement that he has, during the last five 
years, followed "the simple life and been as quiet as some of the 

47 



football games and the eminent reformers and magazines would 
permit." 

JOHN STEVENS MAXWELL 

y 

Hurrah for Maxwell, and hurrah for Bonsai ! "Rocky's" busi- 
ness is contracting. He contracted to find Maxwell, and his efforts 
eventuated in the following interesting letter : 

"It has been years since I have heard from any of the Class of 
'89; in fact, I have not heard or seen any of the members of that 
class since 1890, when I met Jenney at the University of Virginia 
when taking the summer law course under Professor John B. 
Minor. 

I left Princeton at the end of the freshman year, and had intended 
to return in due course ; but upon returning home I found that 
the freeze of January, 1886, had damaged things so that it was prob- 
able that I could not continue for the full four years, and I therefore 
decided to at once get into business of some kind. 

In January of 1887, I entered the Auditor's office of the F. R. & 
N. R. R., afterwards the F. C. & P., and now part of the Seaboard 
and remained there until January, 1889, when I went to Gainesville, 
Fla., and entered the office of W. W. Hampton, Esq., for the pur- 
pose of studying law. I remained in Gainesville until February, 
1890, when I returned to Jacksonville, Fla., and entered the office of 
A. W. Cockrell & Son, with a view to continuing my study of the 
law. In the summer of 1890, about the latter part of June, I went 
to the University of Virginia, at Charlottesville, Va., to take the 
sum.mer law course under Prof. John B. Minor. I returned to Jack- 
sonville in the Fall, in September, 1890, and re-entered the office 
of A. W. Cockrell & Son. I was admitted to the bar in 1892, and 
continued with A. W. Cockrell & Son until May, 1898, when I en- 
tered the volunteer army during the War with Spain. Returning 
to Jacksonville in December, 1898, I opened my office as a lawyer, 
and continued by myself until after the fire of 1901, which de- 
stroyed so much of this city. In January, 1902, I formed a part- 
nership with Hon. Cromwell Gibbons, under the firm name of Gib- 
bons & Maxwell, and we are still practicing together. 

As to any honors bestowed upon me, they have been mainly in 
the service of the State militia. I entered the militia as a mem- 
ber, private in Jacksonville Light Infantry, during a threatened 



riot in July, 1892, and served as private, sergeant, second lieuten- 
ant and captain, and in 1898 entered the Volunteer Army of the 
United States as Captain of Co. E, Florida Volunteer Infantry, and 
served until December 11, 1898, being Provost Marshal for about 
a month at Huntsville, Ala. Upon returning home, I continued as 
captain of Jacksonville Light Infanti*y, and upon the reorganization 
of the militia into two regiments in 1899, was made major in the 
First Regiment of Infantry, and have served continuously ever 
since through the grades of lieutenant-colonel and colonel of the 
First Infantry, until appointed in July, 1907, as brigadier-general 
and assigned to command the First Brigade of Infantry, which po- 
sition I still hold. I have never actively entered into political life, 
but in June, 1907, I was appointed by Governor N. B. Broward as 
Judge of the Criminal Court of Record for Duval County, Florida, 
which court has jurisdiction of all criminal offenses arising in this 
county except capital cases, that is to say, except rape and murder. 
In the primaries in May of 1908, I was nominated for a new term 
of four years, which I am now about to enter upon, rhave held 
the chair of Lecturing Knight in Jacksonville Lodge No. 221, Ben- 
evolent and Protective Order of Elks of this city, was director of 
the Elks Ckib for two terms, and am now president of The Robert 
Burns Association of this city. 

I was married in November, 1905, to Miss Willie Mae Dancy, 
the daughter of Dr. W. McL. Dancy and Mrs. Mae Young Dancy. 
I have one child, a girl named Martha EHzabeth Maxwell, born 
July 19, 1907, who is still living and progressing finely. 

I have never been back to Princeton but once since 1886, and 
that was on my wedding trip in November, 1905, when I stopped 
over one Sunday afternoon. I hardly recognized the old place, so 
many new and handsome buildings had been erected. Still it was 
a great pleasure to me, and aroused my pleasant recollections." 

125 men will insist that the 126th man. Maxwell, attends the 
next reunion. 

/ ALVIN CARR McCORD 

"Mac" is still engaged in the manufacture of railway cars and 
their equipment. His office address is now Old Colony Building, 
Chicago, 111.; and will continue such until May i, 1910, after which 

49 



date it will be Peoples Gas Building, Chicago, 111. "Mac's" house 
address is No. 600 North State Street, Chicago, 111. 

There have been no additions to his family the last five years, and 
the only child born to him has been a daughter (born June 24, 1902) 
who, fortunately for "Mac" and everyone brought in contact with 
this small lady, is much alive. "Mac", in his short letter, makes 
no mention of the occurrence, but it was an endearing sight to see 
him enter the Hotel Regina in Paris, four summers ago, carrying 
under his arm an enormous "Teddy Bear", carried solely because 
young Miss McCord, aged three, said he had to carry it. He car- 
ried it, and he put it down only when Miss McCord told him he 
might. 

Mac's short letter concludes : 

"I have taken out a lot of patents, but they are all in the nature 
of improvements on different things in our various lines of manu- 
factures, and are hardly worthy of the dignity of being called in- 
ventions." 

j DAVID WALTER McCORD 

H T'other McCord writes : 

"There are no changes of moment for me to report since our last 
Record. My business address is now 50 Church Street, Hudson 
Terminal Building, New York. I regret that I am unable to chron- 
icle any great performances, official positions held, scholastic de- 
grees received, mechanical inventions, books published, etc., during 
the past five years, but notwithstanding, the period has been a full 
and joyous one to me." 

"D" has been, for some time, a member of the Council of the 
Princeton Club of New York, and is the '89 representative in the 
Graduate Council of the University. He has had two daughters 
(born respectively July 23, 1894, and June 7, 1903), both of whom 
are living. 

^ WILLIAM HERRON McCULLOCH 

■4 

"Mac's" letter reads thus: 

"I won't attempt to apologize or explain why I have not answered 

your numerous letters, I simply didn't write and that is all. 

On receipt of your two registered letters this morning, I recog- 

50 



nized the fact, as never before, that the Princeton spirit is simply 
indomitable, and will not be denied, and I am therefore compelled to 
give you what little information I can about myself. 

My present business address is, care of U. S. Industrial Alcohol 
Co., Peoria, 111., and there is no prospective change. 

My home address is 412 N. Monroe St., Peoria, 111., where I hope 
to remain for some time. 

I am still in the distilling business, as indicated by the answer 
to your first question. 

I have not married, which statement takes care of questions four 
to nine inclusive. 

To each of the next four I must answer, none. 

There are no unusual facts about my Hfe for the last five years, 
which would be of interest to the class in general. Until this 
morning I thought that it would be impossible for me to attend the 
reunion, but I think now that I shall be able to get away, and I 
wired you to that effect this morning." 

He attended the reunion, and he must attend the nex^one. His 
letter, written on the letterhead of the "U. S. Industrial Alcohol 
Co., Manufacturers of Denatured Alcohol, Trademark Pyro, 
Smokeless, Odorless" raised great hopes among certain members 
of the class, until they learned that denatured alcohol, although 
smokeless and odorless, produces in the drinker a physical state 
known as lifeless. Then the excitement died out. But this fright- 
ful blow to hopes in no way detracted from the pleasure the class 
had in having "Mac" at the reunion. 

THOMAS McKEE McKEE 

"Tom's" home address is still Beverly Farms, Essex County, 
Mass., but he is now a member of the New York Stock Exchange, 
with an office at 115 Broadway, New York City. He has had but one 
child, a son (born February 11, 1891), who is still living. During 
the last five years, "Tom" has filed one patent. 

I WILLIAM B. McLEAN 

McLean writes : 

"The only change necessary in my case for the class record is my 
address, which is now 409 Stokes Avenue, Braddock, Pa." 

SI 



This means that McLean is still connected with the H. C. Frick 
Coke Co., that his one son (born July 23, 1897) is living, and 
that, of his two daughters (born respectively Dec. 22, 1901 and 
May 29, 1903) the elder is still alive. The younger died July 16, 
1903. McLean concludes : "With regards to all the old boys." 



U GEORGE GRENVILLE MERRILL 

George tells us that he now is, as he has been since June, 1903, 
Rector of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, in Buffalo, N. Y., and that 
his house address is 214 Porter Avenue, in that city. At the time of 
our fifteenth reunion, he had had no children, but since then, and on 
February 22, 1907, a daughter was born, and fortunately she is 
still living. 

He says also: 

"Since June, 1904, I have been on the Sunday School Commis- 
sion of the Diocese of Western New York, on the Committee of 
Revision of the Canons of the Diocese of Western New York, 
President of the Buffalo Sunday School League, 1906-1908, Dele- 
gate to the Pan Anglican Congress in London, 1908, Chaplain to the 
Bishop of Western New York at the Lambeth Conference, London, 
1908, etc. I am leading a terribly busy life as Rector of a church 
of 840 communicants or over 600 families, or parts of families. 
Paid a debt of $12,500 off my church three years ago. Received 
a gift of $2,500 at Easter toward acquiring property for a new 
Guild House. Interested in Art School, in public things and give 
innumerable sermons, lectures, addresses, etc., on all kinds of top- 
ics, in the church and out of it." 

\ WILLIAM LAING MERRILL 

"Billy's" address is in care of his brother George (above). He 
is not engaged in active work; and, through illness, was unable to 
write a letter prior to the time this volume went to press. 

j FREDERICK SHEPARD MINOTT 

sj "Fred" still continues as Secretary of the Goodyear Rubber Com- 

pany, and may be found at that Company's New York office, No. 
787 Broadway. His house address is 449 Park Avenue in the same 

52 



\ 



city. In addition to his connection with the Goodyear Company, 
he is also President of the Goodyear Rubber Insulating Company. 

'Tred" was married in Florence, Italy, on February ii, 1905, to 
Miss Marion Lowry, daughter of the late Commodore R. B Lowry 
U. S. Navy. 

CLARENCE BLAIR MITCHELL 

"Mitch" always replies by return mail, and always sends definite 
answers to any questions put to him. Below is an example of the 
way he ordinarily does things and of the way the majority of the 
class should do, but do not. 

"Answering your questions in detail, I would say that my pres- 
ent business address is No. 40 Wall Street, New York City, and 
that my home address is Pennbrook House, Far Hills, N. J., and 
that I have no expectation of altering either address. I am still 
engaged in the practice of law, and hope to continue in the profes- 
sion. 

There have been no births or deaths in my immediate family 
since 1904. I have now living one son, the class boy" (born Decem- 
ber 17, 1890), "who goes to Princeton next Fall, and four daugh- 
ters" (born respectively January 25, 1893, March 22,, 1895, February 
2, 1897, March — , 1901). 

"I have not filled any official positions, received any scholastic 
degrees, published any book or pamphlet, nor patented any mechan- 
ical inventions since June, 1904, nor, so far as I can remember, have 
I done anything sufficiently meritorious or disgraceful to warrant 
reference to it." 

To Clarence Blair Mitchell, the father, our classmate, our loving 
congratulations, and to Clarence Van Schaick Mitchell, the son, our 
class boy, our best wishes, on the latter's becoming a Princeton 
undergraduate. 

CHARLES JENKINS MONTGOMERY 

Many of the class, on reading "Monty's" letter, should be filled 
with shame, but not so completely filled with shame, that there 
may not be left a little space for good resolve that next time they 
will do better in their writing. 

"I will answer the questions contained in your circular letter as 
follows : 

S3 



1. John's Street, The Hill, Augusta, Ga. No prospective change 
in the near future. 

2. This may be answered as the first question, for while I have 
been living at the home of my aunt, adjoining mine for several 
months, I expect to move back to my house on or about June i. 

3. General practice of medicine doing some surgery as opportu- 
nity offers. 

4. Am glad to say that my wife is living and in good health. 

5. Was married as stated in the last Record, December 24, 1901 ; 
as you ask in a postscript to this circular where I was married and 
where Mrs. Montgomery was living at the time, will say that I was 
married in the Church of the Good Shepherd, Sand Hills, near Au- 
gusta, Ga. ; that Mrs. Montgomery, who was then Miss Scott lived 
about one square (as the blocks here are called) below the Church. 
For general information will state that the place alluded to as the 
Sand Hills refers to a settlement, often known locally as The Hill, 
and legally as Summerville, being an incorporated town of about 
five thousand inhabitants, and adjoining Augusta, Ga. 

6. One girl, Margaret (born August 8, 1904) ; two boys, the 
elder of these, Francis Holland (born June 29th, 1907), and the 
younger, Edward Alexander (born August 21, 1908). 

7. None. 

8. Two. 

9. One. 

10. I continue to hold the position of County Physician of Rich- 
mond County. Was a member of the Board of Trustees of the 
Georgia State Sanitarium till January, 1908. Am still a member 
of the Board of Trustees of the Summerville Academy. Am Pro- 
fessor of Hygiene, Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology in the 
Medical Department of the University of Georgia. Held a commis- 
sion as Major and Surgeon N. G. Ga., retired. Was a delegate to 
the Georgia State Democratic Convention in June, 1908. 

11. None. 

12. The Need of a Scientific System of Identification in Georgia ; 
with recommendations and suggestions.' This was an address de- 
livered before the Prison Commission of Georgia July 11, 1907, 
and later published in pamphlet form. 'Survivors from the Cargo 
of the Negro Slave Yacht Wanderer' is the title of an article which 



54 



/■ 



was first published in the American Anthropologist, in 1908, Vol. 
10, No. 4, and later also in pamphlet form. 

13. None. 

14. Nothing further to record at present. 

With best wishes for a most successful reunion of the class in 
June, whether I am so fortunate as to be present or so unfortunate 
as to be absent at this anticipated gathering of '89." 

The class was unfortunate. "Monty" was absent. 

JOSEPH CHANDLER MORRIS 

"Pomp" was prevented from attending our twentieth reunion, and 
he must immediately make a note of the facts : first, that our twenty- 
fifth reunion will be in June, 19 14, and, second, that a reunion is 
not a reunion without "Pomp" Morris. 

"Pomp's" calling is now, as it has been since before June, 1904, 
that of a civil engineer. His business address is Peoples Bank 
Building, New Orleans, La., and his house address is No. 1654 State 
Street, in the same city. % 

His only child, a son, born (May 29, 1902) is still living. 

/ 

y WILLIAM BOSWELL MOUNT 

Mount is still devoting himself to intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. work 
among medical and dental students. His office is at the Intercol- 
legiate Young Men's Christian Association, No. 1421 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, Pa., while his house address is No. 904 South 47th 
Street, in the same city. 

Russell Baker Mount (born October 9, 1904), Philip King Mount 
(born August 15, 1906), and Julia Lyman Mount (born January 21, 
1908), comprise the additions to Mount's family since our fifteenth 
reunion. As reported in our quindecennial record. Mount had one 
other child, a daughter, who was born and who died on October 18, 
1902. His two small sons and one small daughter all proceeded to 
devote themselves the last winter to successive illnesses, which pro- 
vided their father for some time with good cause for anxiety- 
anxiety which, fortunately, has ceased to have excuse for existence. 

LEWIS SEYMOUR MUDGE 

"Mudgie" ofifers no excuse for the use of the blue pencil. Here 
is his letter intact: 

55 



•"The last record found me located in Princeton. There I contin- 
ued to reside until last September, when I came to Lancaster as 
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. After an enforced idle- 
ness of several years it is most delightful to be at work again, and 
especially under such favorable conditions as one finds here. Lan- 
caster is a city of over fifty thousand inhabitants, and its population 
is increasing at the rate of one thousand a year. It is a great agri- 
cultural, manufacturing and educational centre, a rare combination 
and as desirable as rare. As Lancaster is situated on the main line 
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. I trust that some of my classmates 
will stop over as they pass through, and give me an opportunity to 
show them how desirable a place it is in which to live and labor, 
for the only thing it needs to make it almost ideal is a larger con- 
tingent of Princeton men in residence. 

I am very grateful that I have no sorrows to chronicle and no 
changes to contemplate. Though of course I miss greatly the spec- 
ial charms of life in Princeton, I sincerely hope that I am to remain 
here for an indefinite period, and in the work to which I have de- 
voted my life. I cannot recall having occupied any official positions 
or having received any degrees, or having written any pamphlets 
or books or having invented any devices, during the past five years. 

Possibly by the time our twenty-fifth anniversary comes around I 
shall have more of interest to report." 

This is the writing of the best class secretary any Princeton 
class ever had, 

AISAKU NAKAGAWA 

First, read "Nak's" letter. It is: 

"Oiso, May 4, 1909. — I am afraid I'm much behind time. I 
have been rather unwell and you will kindly ascribe my delay to that 
attenuating circumstance. 

Answers to the questions : 

1. I have no business address. 

2. Oiso. No anticipated change. 

3. None. 

4. Wife still living. She lived in Tokyo before our marriage, 
which took place in Sendai. 

5- 

56 



6. A daughter, Marie, born December 8, 1904. 

7. None. 

8. One. 

9. One. 

10. Continued in my old position as a professor of Hygiene in 
the Sendai Medical School, till November, 1907. 

11. 12, 13. None. 

14. I am sorry that I cannot give anything of interest as my life 
has been very uninteresting, even to myself. On account of ner- 
vous prostration I gave up my position a year before last November, 
and have been in retirement at this sea-side town ever since. I 
am beginning to feel better and hope to be quite well soon." 

Second, mindful of "Nak's" fear that he had been slow in reply- 
ing, notice the date of his writing, May 4th, and then, some of you 
men who live in the City of New York and who replied, only after 
from four to sixteen requests had been sent you, consider. 

Third, every one of you use your influence on "Nak," to per- 
suade him so to arrange his life, that he will find it atj^olutely nec- 
essary to be at Princeton in June, 19 14. 

FRED NEHER 

Fred calmly opens his letter with a reference to not having writ- 
ten before the reunion. This simple, honest-sounding statement, 
needs editing. Fred, not only did not write prior to the reunion, 
despite urgent requests, but did not write after the reunion, until 
there were arriving at his house missives from your secretary, of 
such wording that Fred felt that, out of deference to his chil- 
dren's morals, they must be stopped. Then, too, there was always 
the danger that, if one of Fred's children escaped the physical in- 
jury of burning its hand on one of the secretary's communications, 
the child might read the letter, and so lose faith in its father and in 
Christianity. 

Yet, we have to forgive Fred his slowness because of what he 
does in Princeton and because of what he is. Fred, who is inciden- 
tally trying to square himself with the secretary, sends this letter : 

'T have no excuse to offer for not having written you before 
our reunion, but I feel that the delay gives me the distinct advantage 
of, an opportunity to express the deep obHgation I, in common with 
every other '89 man, am under to you for bringing about for us a 

57 



reunion so perfect in all respects. (If you do not print this I swear 
never again to attempt even a belated answer to your cumulatively 
'urgent appeals.) Comradeships of sorts we had long known, but 
the reawakening and deepening of fellowship we experienced sur- 
passed the fondest hopes even of our ever optimistic David. I con- 
fess to having felt a somewhat cynical pity for the said David when 
I thought how rudely he would be awakened from his impossible 
dreams. I was outspoken in opposing his extravagant plans for our 
comfort and entertainment. Two houses, forsooth ! You see, I 
was counting the cost in dollars and, all unconsciously, measuring 
the possible benefits also in dollars. Should we now try to express 
its value in mere dollars, the schedules would suggest a Roosevelt 
appropriation bill. Now my slogan for the next reunion is : Three 
houses. A sorority adjunct to '89's bidomiciliary fraternity, de- 
voted to the entertainment of our sisters by marriage, is, I beHeve, 
the only way left us to out-David David. We must not let the op- 
portunity slip. 

In short, then, the reunion is the dearest memory of my last five 
years. I think I would not part with its fragrance for anything 
else I possess save wife and family. For the rest, my business 
address is still Princeton, as I have a summer home at Rangeley, 
Maine, where, as in Princeton, I hope to see '89 men drop in with 
increasing frequency. I am still nominal head of the household re- 
ported five years ago, with extensions but no additions. I am still 
serving as professor and head of the department of chemistry here 
in Princeton. My only publications are a few researches on most 
prosaic chemical subjects. My heart glows more warmly than ever 
before for '89 and for Princeton." 

Fred's two children, a son (born August 14, 1899), and a daugh- 
ter (born May 27, 1902), are living. 

No chemical experiment ever done by Fred can have been so suc- 
cessful, in its performance and in its culmination, as was the garden 
party which he and Mrs. Neher gave the class at our recent reunion. 
If Fred were "testing" for pleasure given, he could have done it in 
\ no more conclusive way than was done by him and his wife. 

^ HENRY GRAVES NOEL 

"Father" Noel is President of the Noel- Young Bond and Stock 
Company, dealers in municipal bonds and local securities, at No. 

• ' 58 



304 North Fourth Street, St. Louis, Mo. He tells us that his house 
address is No. 5065 McPherson Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., that the 
only addition to his family, since our fifteenth reunion, is through 
the birth of a daughter, Cynthia Wylie, on October 13, 1908, and 
accordingly, that his children have been one son (born July 18, 
1892) and four daughters (born respectively April 26, 1891, March 
22, 1894, April 24, 1898, and October 13, 1908), all of whom are 
living. 

THOMAS CLARENCE NOYES 

The following letter will suggest that "Tom" is not an insistent 
correspondent, but the effort spent in obtaining the letter was more 
than offset by what was obtained. In the fullness of time, "Tom" 
wrote this : 

"The things that you ask of me in your registered letter dated 
June 4th, and addressed to me as editor, I refuse to do with all the 
scorn and contumely it is possible to throw into a rejection. In my 
editorial capacity I have a high regard and a very tender considera- 
tion for Mr. Thos. C. Noyes, as an individual, and I will neither 
■'kick him', 'hit him in the face' or 'tear his coat up the back' to 
please any long-legged specimen of the legal fraternity. On the 
contrary I have, pursuant to your request, but with sympathetic 
words, shown him your letter, and have witnessed with approba- 
tion the just indignation that flamed up in his wronged heart as he 
read your outrageous proposals. What he said about you in his 
righteous wrath I should like you to know, but I cannot write them 
to you; there is a law against sending such expressions through 
the mails. 

But why waste ammunition this way, as the man said when he 
shot at a rabbit and hit his wife. You demand information. You 
shall have it. Take your blamed old circular, note the numbers of 
the questions, and listen.

Star, having a larger circulation in proportion to the population —

13. Very dense silence. 

14. This is the number I've been waiting for. There are so 
many 'facts' connected with my life during the past five years that 
are of thrilling interest to me that I don't know where to begin. 
There is the question of millinery bills. As I said to my wife 
shortly after Easter in the year 1906, — but gee ! it wouldn't be right 
to tell you that. I'd better tell you about a cook I had in 1909, who 
drank all the cooking sherry and licked two policemen, and say Phil, 
are you interested in dogs? I had a dog that chased a rabbit up a 
tree and just as he — but now I think of it that was before 1904 
and doesn't go. Ah! but here a real fact. In 1906 I bought an 
automobile. I owned it two weeks, since then some automobile 
has owned me. Speaking of tires — say, who is the best all around 
'cusser' in the class ? I want to have a talk with him. 

Now, you emaciated, not to speak of elongated, writer of circu- 
lars, if you can get any information out of this you are welcome 
to it." /

WILLIAM MILLER PAXTON, JR. 

"Bill" has retired from business, so that he has ample time in 
which to write. Consider the weeks of anxious work put into the 
following communication — a communication so voluminous that the 
printer has considered the possible advisability of publishing his 
letter as a separate work. Here is his letter: 

"Paxton. Address, Princeton, N. J." 



\^.A?M^ 



^RUSSELL PEMBERTON 

Pemberton, with over-modesty, writes : 

"There is little to tell. My home and my office address are 165 
Madison Avenue, New York City, and my occupation is, as it was 

60 



before, the regular practice of medicine, meanwhile also acting as 
Medical Examiner for the Prudential Life Insurance Co. 

As regards questions 4 to 13, inclusive, absolutely nothing has 
happened. 

As to 14, I fear I cannot do much better. (I see right now, that I 
am going to get plucked on this examination.) I simply have been 
leading the usual humdrum, tedious, and sleepy existence of the 
average New Yorker. Possibly I notice it the more keenly, because 
f practiced in Philadelphia for a couple of years." 

A CYRUS LONG PERSHING 

Read the "Anarchist's" platform. It is : 

"The enclosed is a brief summary of my varied career for the last 
five years : 

1. Janeway Hall, City Hospital, Blackwell's Island, N. Y. City. 

2. 1335 Howard Ave., Pottsville, Pa. In the course of a few 
months I expect to move to Denver, Colorado, where, after Sep- 
tember I, my address will be Stedman Block. * 

3. I have been studying medicine since 1904, and at present am 
a hospital interne. 

With regard to all the other questions I have nothing to commu- 
nicate. I graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons 
of New York, in May, 1908, and have since been working at the 
Manhattan State Hospital on Ward's Island and here at the City 
Hospital. I expect to practice medicine in Denver, Colo." 

JOHN VAN NESS PHILIP 

"Phil" reports that he has not been in business since prior to 
June, 1904, that his address is "Talavera", Clavarack, N. Y., and 
that he is not married. 

He answers "None" to questions about degrees, pubHcations and 
inventions, and "Thanks" to the 14th interrogatory. 

CLIFFORD CHANDLER POLLISON 

This is the "Ice man's" letter: 

"I had expected a hard examination paper, but find it a snap. It 
is so easy to say no degrees, no inventions, no pamphlets, no daugh- 
ters, no anything. If you had asked 'zvhyf — as a real live examina- 

61 



tion paper would, then the saiHng would not be so plain. I think 
you would have added interest to our papers if you had inserted one 
more question, to read something like this : State all your infrac- 
tions of the Ten Commandments since 1904. 
(i) 496-510 Pacific Ave,, Jersey City, N. J. 

(2) Waverly Park, Newark, N. J. 

(3) Wholesale ice and produce. 

(4) Not guilty.

(6) No sex, no date, no place. 

(7) Ditto.

(9) Ditto. 

(10) '' 

(11) " The degrees of interest in the ice business are not 
scholastic. 

(12) Ditto. 

(13) " 

(14) " ." 

When your class secretary went to Princeton, some weeks since, 

to prepare the houses for the reunion, there was "Polly", waiting 
for the reunion to commence. His heart has never gotten into any 
of his refrigerators, nor have his feet, when there arose for Prince- 
i ton or '89 any need, whether financial or otherwise. 

1 EDMUND FRANCIS QUINN 

In prompt answer to the class circular, came the following: 
"In response to your request for information for the class record, 
I would advise you that there has been no change in my 'status' since 
the last report. My address is care of Comptroller of the Cur- 
rency, Washington, D. C. Hoping that you may have a pleasant 
time at the reunion, I remain." 

This means that Quinn is in the office of the Comptroller of the 
Currency, where his work consists of keeping his bureau acquainted 
with the laws and decisions affecting national banks, and that he 
\ has never married. 
\ EDWARD WATSON RAND 

'^^^ "Mose" tells us that his business address is Rand Collegiate 
School, No. 138 West State Street, Trenton, New Jersey, and that 

62 



his house address is Hodge Road and Library Place, Princeton, 
N. J. During the last five years, as before, he has been Head 
Master of the Rand Collegiate School at Trenton, N. J., a pre- 
paratory school for boys and girls, and has also been in charge of 
the Summer Term of the Rand Collegiate School maintained, at 
Princeton, in one of the buildings which was used by us as head- 
quarters at our last reunion. 

"Mose" says that he hopes all '89 men will send their sons to 
his summer school to remove the conditions which are sure to be 
given them in their entrance examinations. His letter concludes : 

"As many in the class know, I have made my home for the last 
twenty years with Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hudnut at Princeton in the 
winter time and at Allenhurst, N. J., in the summer. As some of 
my classmates know, the saddest event in my life was the death in 
one year of the two best friends I ever had — Mr. and Mrs. Hudnut. 
With the exception of these sad events and irreparable losses, I 
have lived a quiet and happy hfe, keeping my name out of the 
newspapers — not caring for newspaper notoriety like % . . " 

\/ FREDERICK ALONZO REMINGTON 

Remington, who unfortunately was prevented from fulfilling his 
intention of attending our recent reunion, reports merely that his 
home and business address is Great Barrington, Mass., and that his 
only child now living is a son. Reference to previous records 
shows that this son was born November 24, 1899, and that Rem- 
ington's only other child — an earlier son— born January 6, 1897, 
died March 15, 1898. 

BASIL NORRIS RICKETTS 

"Bas" has never married. During the past five years he has not 
been engaged in business, and has been living in New York City. 
His address is 156 West 45th Street in that place. To "Bum" 
Brownlee, we are indebted for the address, as, when "Bas" relin- 
quished his former address, he failed to advise your secretary, and 
then "Bum" came to the rescue. 

EDMUND YARD ROBBINS 

If Robbins were not one of the best men in the class, your secre- 
tary would break his neck. (Any Greek or Latin word may 



be inserted in place of the dash.) The physical conception of 
"Absolute inertia" moves like an express train compared with Rob- 
bins, when he answers class circulars. However, when his answers 
come, they are well worth reading. In reply to some fifty million 
requests, he has written as follows : 

"Nothing new since 1904 except a bald spot on top of my head. 
I am still married, still alive, Mrs. Robbins ditto ; we have no 
children. I am still a Professor of Greek at Princeton, and am not 
eager for any change in 'the nature of my business'. My publica- 
tions have been critical reviews of technical work in my own subject. 

I note that your 'examination paper' contains fourteen questions. 
No Princeton student ever answers more than ten, — unless with {he 
phrase 'Lack of time'. But, contrary to precedent, I do want to say 
at this opportunity, how great a pleasure to me this reunion was. 
I am sure it was equally so to every man who came. We must have 
all of '89 back at the 25th. If the absent ones could realize the 
spirit of true fellowship that marked this reunion they would know 
that they could not afford to miss the next." 



THOMAS M. ROE 

Roe was a bit slow in answering; and, while waiting for his 
reply, your secretary endeavored to obtain information concerning 
Roe from the Headquarters of the United States Marine Corps. 
The Colonel's report contains one item not mentioned in the fol- 
lowing letter from Roe, but, of interest, because it completes Roe's 
military record as set forth in our fifteenth year volume. The report 
shows that Roe left the United States Marine Corps service, in good 
standing, on August 5, 1905, receiving his discharge at the Annap- 
olis, Maryland, Barracks. 

On the same day that this report was received from Washington, 
came the following letter from Roe, dated at Reading, Pa. His 
letter reads: 

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I will hurriedly try to answer the 
questions contained in your circular. 

1. Book Dept., Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Reading, Pa. 

2. No. 166 Clymer St., Reading, Pa. 

3. Clerking in Book Dept., D., P. & S., Reading, Pa. 

4. I am still single, and consequently that covers answer to 
questions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 

10. I have held no official positions since June, 1904. 

.64 



i/' 



11. I have received no scholastic degrees since June, 1904. 

12. I have published no books or pamphlets since June, 1904. 

13. I have patented no mechanical inventions or processes since 
June, 1904. 

^ PHILIP ASHTON ROLLINS 

To the ten or twelve of you who have any sense of decency about 
replying to circulars, and yet, to all of you, despite your fiendish 
slowness, my love goes out. — Borituri salutamus. 

1909 finds me, as did 1904, a member of the law firm of RolHns 
& Rollins, whose office is at No. 32 Nassau Street, New York City. 
My house address continues to be No. 28 East 78th Street, in the 
same city. 

This satisfies such of the first twelve questions as may not be 
answered by the word "none". 

To make specific reply to the 13th question — in the spring of 
1905, I invented a fossil liver. It would not work in this longitude, 
so, in the summers of 1905 and 1906, I took it to Carlsbad, and, for 
eight weeks in each year, played I was an aquarium. Finally the 
bilious devil was drowned, and later I dried out. 

The next summer, I spent in a trip to Spitzbergen and in Norway 
and Switzerland. A short hunting trip in the fall of 1908, and a 
motor trip this last spring in Algeria and Tunisia complete my 
catalogue of office absences. I had arranged to go this spring to 
Japan, but cancelled my passage, in order that I might be home in 
time to bring out the record before the reunion. Accordingly, I 
took the much shorter trip to Northern Africa. 

It was a great disappointment to find that less than a third of the 
class had responded to the circular, when I landed in New York. 

Save for the travels specified above, my five years past have been 
spent in ill-advising corporations. 

In concluding, I add that, if some of you prove as slow in an- 
swering the last trump as you have in responding to the class secre- 
tary's notices, the Judgment Day will have to be adjourned sine die. 
Selah ! 

THOMAS HENRY POWERS SAILER 

"Sinbad" may not be tall enough to reach the average post-box, 
but, somehow or other, he succeeds, at each reunion, in getting his 

65 



letter into the return mail, and his letter is always well worth 
reading. This time he writes: 

"My answers to the questions in your circular are as follows: 

1. 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City. 

2. Englewood, N. J. 

3. Educational Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of For- 
eign Missions. A principal part of this work is the promotion of a 
systematic study of missions among the young people of the church. 
Last year we had over 1200 classes reported and nearly 15,000 
members. I am also just taking up a correspondence with mission- 
aries engaged in educational work, advising with them on educa- 
tional problems. 

6. Agnes — daughter — ^born September 9, 1904, at Englewood, 
N.J. 

8. One. 

9. Two. 

10. I have continued to be educational secretary of the Board, 

12. A booklet of about 150 pages, on the teaching of missions; 
also some smaller pamphlets on the same subject. 

14. For the last five years my life has been as unspectacular as a 
Howells novel. My work involves a certain amount of speaking at 
conventions, summer conferences, colleges, etc., and leading normal 
classes. The reading which is required on missionary and educa- 
tional subjects is especially interesting, and I have been taking a 
course or two at Columbia each year in order to keep up with the 
times in educational lines. I have text books to edit for the study 
of missions, and articles and pamphlets to write. For exercise I. 
play tennis and squash, and occasionally condescend to lick Speer 
just to show him that he is not equally great in all lines. Bobby 
and I live no further apart than Teddy Hewitt can drive a golf ball 
when he is on his game. Our boys play together, are in the same 
class in school, and will probably be classmates at Princeton. The 
only other '89 men whom I have met more than casually since last 
reunion are, A. H. Barr, with whom I have had some very pleasant 
visits in Detroit, and Hughes." 

"Sinbad" has had one son (born August 24, 1898) and two 
daughters born respectively June 17, 1896, and September 9, 1904), 
all of whom are living.

\ WILLIAM HEDGES SCOFIELD 

V "Billy's" record is : 

"I am in receipt of your circular letter and take pleasure in 
answering at once, for I have not lost interest in my classmates', 
even though it has not been my good fortune to see many of them 
during the past ten years. 
I. Waverly, New York. 

2. 

3. Treas. of The A. H. Thomas Paint Co. until Jan. ist, 1908, 
engaged in the manufacture and sale of paints and varnishes. 
Since that date have been in the Investment Security business; 
handling the Bonds of Jimmie Thorpe's operations in the vicinity 
of Denver.

WILLARD BLOSSOM SEGUR 

"Bill" Segur hath much the figure of an orange, but, in the slang 
of the day, he is "no lemon". Spherical "Bill" says : 

"Although I have nothing of interest to give except the simple 
answers to your questions, still they will help complete your sta- 
tistics. Princeton once — Princeton always, and while I rarely see 
any of the fellows, any word concerning the University or '89 in 
particular is eagerly sought by me." 

Then follow certain statistical entries, which collectively tell us 
that "Bill" is still practicing medicine at Enfield, Mass., and that, 
in the last five years, there have been no additions to his family. 
While "Bill" has had no children of his own, the adopted son men- 
tioned in the decennial record is still living. 

"Bill" rolled into the reunion. A reunion and his presence always 
are coincident. 

IRENAEUS MAYBERRY SHEPHERD 

"Shep", alias "Muldoon", a bachelor physician, briefly states that 
No. 188 South Broad Street, Trenton, New Jersey, is the number 

67 



\ 



both of his house and of his ofifice, and impHes that, at this address, 
he still writes prescriptions for the biHous and other unfortunates. 
He adds that he anticipates no change in his address, unless his 
native State sees fit to put a tax on bachelors, "in which event I 
may jump the State". To every other question he answers "None". 

JOHN ELIOT SHRADY 

"Doc" is not a bit more married than is "Muldoon". He is a 
bit more discursive than "Billy" Paxton, but not much more so. 
He tells us merely that both his friends and his patients may find 
him at No. 78 East 79th Street, New York City, and that, in addition 
to his private practice, he is Attending Physician at St. Francis 
Hospital in New York City. 

Exclusive of his address, "Doc" spread his letter out into six 
words, but cut down their length somewhat by using contractions. 



I HENRY DORR SILL 

Dr. Henry Dorr Sill died of typhoid fever at his home in Coop- 
erstown, N. Y., on January 11, 1909. 

Born at Cooperstown October 20, 1866, educated at its public 
school, and later at St. John's School at Manlius, N. Y., he entered 
Princeton in the fall of 1885, and graduated with the degree of 
B.S. in Jime, 1889. 

He graduated, in June, 1892, from the College of Physicians and 
Surgeons ; and, after serving an interneship at St. Francis Hospital 
in New York, he returned in 1893, ^o his native town, to undertake 
the practice of his profession. 

Fifteen years of the most devoted service that a man could give 
to any community served to win, not only the esteem and affection 
of his townspeople, but also a like position in the hearts of all those 
who knew him. 

A simple enumeration of the positions he held testifies to the 
fulness of an active and successful life. 

At the time of his death he was a Vestryman of Christ Church 
and Superintendent of its Sunday School, President of the local 
Y. M. C. A., a Director of the Second National Bank of Coopers- 

68 




HENRY DORR SILL 



town, a Trustee of the Orphans House of the Holy Saviour, Sur- 
geon of the Thanksgiving Hospital, which latter institution he was 
largely instrumental in developing, and President of the Otsego 
County Medical Society. 

Wide and effective as were his public activities, his memory will 
be treasured still more for the self sacrificing devotion of his private 
life, and for his widespread charity. Hard driven by his sense of 
duty, he never spared himself or his means, when there was suffer- 
ing to which he could minister, or misery that he might relieve. 

That'he was loved by his townsmen would appear from the fact 
that, on the day of his funeral, all the Cooperstown stores were 
closed, and, as -the procession moved through the streets, all the 
church bells of the village were tolled. 

Henry never married, and, throughout his professional life, he 
and his sister lived together in the house of their childhood. The 
memory of their unselfish, mutual devotion will be always a bene- 
diction to her. 

The class adopted the following resolution : » 

"We are taught to honor our father and our mother, that our days 
may be long. The life led by Henry Sill was a constant honoring 
of his father and his mother. While his death, in his forty-third 
year, made his days numerically few, his ordering of them made 
them long. A Hfe crowded with generosity, a life nobly spent, a life 
ended, solely because exhausted in good works, can not be short, 
however soon it end. 

Graduating from Princeton with our respect and love, he died, 
full in the possession of a professional standing, of which we, his 
classmates, are justly proud. 

We place our tribute on his bier, and extend our loving sympathy 
to his sister, to his associates in charitable institutions, and to the 
many who now live, because his skill prolonged their lives." 



J. CONDIT SMITH 

No member of the class will be surprised, on recalling "Pete's" 
fondness for the national game, to learn that his present business 
address is Ball Ground, Georgia. Hov,^ever, this name is a mis- 
nomer, for, at this place, "Pete" is engaged in coal mining. His 
home address is 1814 Jefferson Place, Washington, D. C. 

(>9 



From his letter, we obtain the sad news that his wife died in 
1905. He has had no children. 

In concluding, Pete says that one matter connected with his life 
during the last five years which is of great interest is the fact that 
his conduct has been extremely good. 

-1/ LEWIS MUDGE SMITH 

"Lew" is Manager and Treasurer of the Engineering Construc- 
tion Company, a general contracting concern, and has his office at 
No. 407 Coal Exchange, Scranton, Pa. His house address is No. 
512 Elm Street, Dunmore, Scranton, Pa. He has had but one child, 
and that a son, William Gibbons Smith (born March 29, 1906) and 
now alive. His letter concludes : 

"Our contracting business has carried me mostly into the field of 
steel bridge erection. We are just finishing a contract with the 
Delaware & Hudson Company, placing all the bridges on their Q., 
M. & S. extension in Canada, the feature of this work being the 
assembling of 50-ton lattice trusses and placing them, on the piers 
without the use of the usual false work. This was accomplished 
by means of a large steel traveler owned and operated by our 
Cf)mpany." 

WILLIAM WALTER SMITH 

Doc", characterized on the letterhead of the Sunday School 
Commission of the Diocese of New York as "Rev. Wm. Walter 
Smith, M.A., M.D., Gen'l Sec'y, 416 Lafayette St., New York", 
apparently has something to do to keep him busy. 

He writes : 

"A brief, but epitomized letter. I depend upon you to enlarge it 
and put it into running English. I am so busy that I can scarcely 
call my soul my own. I venture to send much printed data to you 
under other cover, for you to digest. You can judge the work I 
am still iti. Circular enclosed will show my position. Letter head 
my address. My home address as before, 30 West 128th St., The 
Penrose. Married, June 28, 1905, to Miss Maud Parsons Canfield, 
St. James Church, Fordham, New York City. No children. 'Too 
busy.' Queries 10-14 answered by enclosed pamphlet. I fear I 
cannot get to Princeton, in spite of wanting to, as I shall almost 

70 



certainly be travelling out of New York at that time. I cover about 
14,000 miles a year, organizing, etc., in the Forward Movement of 
the Sunday School, so that I am on the road a good deal. With our 
big $40,000 a year business, teacher-training, organizing, editing 
books and our periodical, handling nearly 2,000 schools of our 
Church, besides Pres., Cong., M. E., Bapt., Luth., and even Jews and 
R. C, practically making the entire Sunday School Movement, I 
am on a perfect whirl of nervous rush, till I have almost never even 
an evening free. Give my regards to the boys." 

The circular to which "Doc" refers shows that he is "A.B., A.M. 
(Princeton) ; M.D. (College of Physicians and Surgeons, Colum- 
bia) ; General Theological Seminary ; Graduate Student in Teachers' 
College (Columbia University) ; General Secretary of the Sunday 
School Federation of the Church; Secretary of the Sunday School 
Commission, Diocese of New York; Secretary of the New York 
Sunday School Association; Author of 'The History and Use of the 
Prayer Book,' 'Christian Doctrine', 'The Making of the Bible', 
'From Exile to Advent', 'Sunday School Teaching"* 'Rehgious 
Education, a comprehensive Text Book", and various other works, 
some of which are mentioned in our quindecennial record. 

In order to get through his each day's work, "Doc" has had to 
train himself to use a knife and fork in his sleep. 

ROBERT ELIOT SPEER 

"Bob" is absent in South America. Through the kindness of 
Mrs. Speer and of a certain T. H. P. Sailer, your secretary has 
obtained the following information : 

"Bob's" business address is 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City, 
where is his office as Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of For- 
eign Missions. His home address is Englewood, N. J. 

The only changes in "Bob's" family in the last five years have 
been as follows : On August 4, 1906, one of his then two daugh- 
ters (born respectively November 20, 1900, and May 5, 1903) died, 
while on November 9, 1907, another daughter was born. His 
living children are, accordingly, one son (born November i, 1898) 
and two daughters. 

"Bob's" present trip to South America is made, pursuant to the 
Board of Foreign Mission's policy to have its various missions 
visited from time to time by its Secretaries. Speer sailed May 5, 

71 



1909, for Brazil, whence his work takes him, in addition to inland 
trips, down the Atlantic coast to Buenos Ayres, thence, through 
the Straits of Magellan, to Chili, and home, via Peru, Colombia, 
and possibly Guatemala. He expects to arrive home about Decem- 
ber ist of the present year. 

GORMLY J. SPROULL 

No. I Madison Avenue and Freeport, Long Island, N. Y., are 
reported by "Gorm" to be respectively his office and home addresses. 
At the former address he practices law; and, at the latter address, 
he neither has nor has had either wife or child. 

Gormly was one of those who made the last reunion a success. 

THOMAS SPROULL 

"Tom", who, with his brother "Gorm" (above), is a partner in 
the well-known New York law firm of Sproull, Harmer & Sproull, 
briefs his record thus : 

"Replying to your recent request for information for the Class 
Record, would say that my business address is as above, and my 
home address Freeport, Long Island, wtih no anticipated change 
of either. I am still practicing law and am not married. 'Nothing 
doing' in regard to the other matters asked about." 

The "as above" is No. i Madison Avenue, New York City. 

FRANCIS LANSING STEBBINS 

Stebbins' letter answers the questions asked on the printed cir- 
cular, and gives additional information requested from him. 
His letter reads : 

"Will give you the old information first. I was married to Mrs. 
Elise d'Espinville Picot, of Philadelphia, in Syracuse, N. Y., on 
March 2, 1898. Have had one child, boy, born September 10, 1904. 
I. 385 Main St., Geneva, N. Y. 
2. 
3. Physician and surgeon. 

5. Was married in due and ancient form in '98 and haven't 
found it necessary to repeat the ceremony since. 

6. Boy. The same one spoken of above. Not twins. 

7. None. 

72 



8. One. 

9. None, and never had any. 

10. None. 

11. None. 

12. None. 

13. None. 

14. My life for the past five years has been quite interesting to 
me, but as to the last part of the question — I don't believe a word 
of it, so will 'shut up'." 

In another communication, Stebbins says : 

"You know, I often feel as if I didn't really belong to '89, as I 
was at Princeton so short a time. I really was counting on going 
to this reunion, if only to represent, if possible, dear old 'Rats', as 
the boys used to call my brother. If I do not get there, kindly 
remember me to all the fellows, especially 'Sid Furst' and 'Waddy', 
and tell 'Bobby' Speer that T am still as 'lazy' as ever, but have 
grown fat on it." 

When Stebbins attends our next reunion, he will &id that his 
suggestion of the dependency of his welcome on our love for his 
brother was not well founded. 

JOHN DeWITT STERRY

CHARLES WADHAM STEVENS 

"Waddy", the class "Catologist", sends this letter: 
"There is very little of interest that I can add to what I wrote 
you for the 1904 record. I am still associated with my father at the 
same old stand and sincerely hope to continue so for many years. 
No wife as yet and no prospects of one. I have, however, some- 
what extended my field of work, as, for the last four years, I have 
transferred my office for two months of the summer to Portland, 
Me., and if any '89 men wander Down East during July or August 
they will find me hard at work at 732 Congress St., where I can 
give them unHmited information as to the beauties of Casco Bay 
and the surrounding country. 

I am anticipating a great' time at the reunion and hope to get 
there early and stay late." 

DUNCAN WARREN TAYLOR 

"Dune" writes : 

"Here are the answers you want" (and they are) :

"Dune" has had only the four children mentioned above. 

The unending thanks of the class are due to Mr. Chemist Taylor 

74 



Member of Common Council, Plainfield. 

None 

None. 

None. 

Nothing particular has happened to me during the last five 



ior his manufacture and presentation to the various members of 
the class of certain pasteboard boxes containing preparations such 
as would, if used, keep their hands clean and aid in the removal of 
their whiskers. 



WALTER CERRE TAYLOR 

"Petie" reports that he may be found in St. Louis, Mo., either at 
his office, No. 21 12 Locust Street, or at his house. No. 3800 Delmar 
Boulevard. The last five years, he has been engaged in the whole- 
saling of proprietary remedies, and also, under the charter name 
"Walter C. Taylor Realty Company", in dealing in real estate. 

He tells us that his wife died April 5, 1907, and that he has had 
no children. 

Answering the loth to the 14th questions, "Petie" tells us that his 
only official_ position, since June, 1904, has been prompter in a deaf 
mute asylum; that, during this period, he has received the degrees 
of C. Q. D., P. D. Q. and Q. E. D. ; has published certain Sash books 
and check books ; has produced a fishing fly known as the "Taylor 
Belle", and has "been fishin' ". 

JOHN ALVIN TERHUNE 

Millertown, N. Y., is the address of "Jack" Terhune, from which 
place comes this, his letter: 

"Enclosed find list of questions with accompanying answers. The 
facts are about the same as in 1904. 

I am pastor of the same church which I have served for the past 
-eight years, and there have been no changes in my immediate family 
since the publication of our last class record. 

I do not know that I will be able to be present at the reunion ; if 
liot, it will be only the second time since our graduation. 

The last time I was at Princeton was last fall at the Yale game. 
Whenever I think of our Alma Mater, a longing comes over me to 
get back to the old scenes so dear to every Princeton man. 

If I am not present at the reunion, give my love to all the 
fellows." 

"Jack" has had two children, both sons (born respectively De- 
cember 2'j, 1892, and June 30, 1900), and both now living. 

75 



v 



DEAN THOMPSON 

Dean Thompson, five years ago, wrote of "Single Blessedness". 
Now, he states : "1 was married August 19, 1908, at Allentown, 
New Jersey, to Miss Ethel L.ouise Parker." 

Dean is still associated with his father, under the name of "J. 
Bergen Thompson & Son", in the business of greenhouse products. 
His business address is Corner of Lawrence and Webb Avenues,, 
Ocean Grove, N. J., while his house address is Corner of Franklin 
and Lawrence Avenues, Ocean Grove, N. J. 

His letter reads : "I haven't lost interest in the plucky old class,, 
but find life strenuous and business demands great just at reunion 
time." 

JAMES RUGGLES THORPE 

Big-hearted, big-natured old "J™" Thorpe brought from Denver 
something which, throughout our reunion, gave it a snap and zest. 
That something was "Jennie Thrapp". 

"Jim", alias "Jennie", writes that 404-407 Colorado Building, 
Denver, Colorado, is his office address, and that his house bears the- 
street number 1152 Race Street, Denver, Colorado. "Jim's" busi- 
ness is still "Investment securities". He has had no children. 

SAMUEL SKIDMORE THORPE 

"Sadie Thrapp" got aboard the train at Minneapolis, with a. 
through ticket to Princeton and about five hundred tons of con- 
tagious good nature and Princeton spirit. "Sadie" appeared at 
headquarters, before the reunion officially cornmenced, and dumped 
the whole five hundred tons into the middle of the reunion and it 
stayed there while the reunion lasted. In automobile parlance,, 
"Sadie's" own "emergency tank" was so effective, that he could* 
give away his entire five hundred ton consignment, and still have- 
left, for his own use, so much enthusiasm and warm-heartedness 
that he never "missed an explosion". 

Here is his examination paper: 

"Answering your circular printed letter I will take up the ques- 
tions in order. 

(i) Still at 512 Nicollet Ave., Andrus Building, Minneapolis,. 
Minn., where we have been for the last ten years. 



(2) Living at 1106 Mt. Curve Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. 

(3) In the general real estate and mortgage loan business and 
have been since 1889. 

(4) Wife is living, very much so. 

(5) Married before 1904 and still married. 

(6) Two children born since 1904, boy and girl. 

(7) All children living, no deaths in family since my marriage. 

(8) Three sons living. Oldest (born July — , 1900) to be 
member of Class of 1922. 

(9) One daughter living. 

(10) No wonderful official positions. Two terms president of 
Real Estate Board, always active in its committees, served on Water 
Commission for the City, besides serving on a jury and spending 
two days on a dog case. 

(11) Nothing doing. 

(12) Real estate advertisement mostly. 

(13) No mechanical inventions, but pumping up tires or polish- 
ing up the carburator. % 

(14) Nothing special except that we have been very much 
engrossed in quite large real estate operations, some in Oregon, some 
in Florida, mostly, however, in Minneapolis. Always glad to see an 
'89 man in Minneapolis and latch string is out and glad hand here 
for any who will do the honor of calling me up when in Minne- 
apolis." 

DAVID RIPLEY TODD 

L'^^^ "Dave" writes : 

"Present business address, 103 Park Avenue, New York City. 
Present home address, 235 West 103rd St., New York City. Now, 
and since June, 1904, engaged in the business of real estate and 
building. Never married. Since June, 1904, no official positions, 
degrees, publications or inventions." 

"Dave", at present, is building a bank balance. 

I JOHN REYNARD TODD 

I 
^ John reports his business to be now the same as it was in 1904, 

i. e. "Real estate operating". This means making incisions in the 

public and inserting in the wound mud to take the place of the gold 

extracted. 

77 



John writes that his present business address is No. 320 Fifth 
Avenue, New York City, and that his present house address is 
Summit, N. J. 

He tells us that there have been no additions to his family since 
June, 1904, and that his children have been, and are, one son (born 
August 27, 1899) 3-rid one daughter (born June i, 1896). To this 
daughter. Miss Frances Bray Todd, now thirteen years of age, the 
class of '89 tenders its abject apologies, for the reason that, at page 
94 of our quindecennial record, she appeared as one of "2 sons". 

FREDERIC CROSBY TORREY 

Torrey's address, both business and social, is Lakehurst, Ocean 
County, N. J., where he is engaged in the business of "Real estate". 
His only child has been a daughter, Ruth Ware Torrey, born Jan- 
uary 28, 1905, and now living. Torrey was prevented from attend- 
ing the reunion which, he said, was the more disappointing from the 
fact that Lakehurst was so near to Princeton, he being "so near 
and yet so forth". 

MARCH GONZALES TURNER 

March Turner left Princeton at the end of first term in our 
freshman year. The brother of our Dix recently met him in 
Europe, and learned that Turner has married, is not engaged in 
business, and spends the major portion of his time in Europe, 
making his headquarters at the Hotel Beau Sejour, Lausanne, 
Switzerland, but occasionally returning to Wilkesbarre, Pa., to look 
after his investment interests. 

Some three years ago, your secretary, while in Italy, discovered, 
in a local paper, that, some weeks before, a "March G. Turnero, 
Americano", had won a Swiss tennis tournament. A flying trip to 
Switzerland discovered no one who could locate Turner. 

Turner has not answered your secretary's letters, although, ap- 
parently, they have reached him. Had he known the spirit in which 
they were sent, he would have answered. 

y CHARLES FREDERICK UEBELACKER 

With all that "Uebe" has accomplished in his professional career, 
nothing that he has designed compares, in efficiency, with his en- 
thusiasm for Princeton and his devotion to '89. These two elements 
in his makeup are hard at work twenty-five out af every twenty- 

78 



four hours. If "Uebe" ever reports that it will be impossible for 
him to attend a reunion, the class should at once go into the hands 
of a receiver. 

"Uebe" sends the following letter : 

"My present business address is 115 Broadway, New York, c/o 
Ford, Bacon & Davis; with no prospect of change. 

My present home address is Summit Avenue, Hackensack, N. J. ; 
with no anticipated change. 

Now and since June, 1904, I have been engaged almost entirely 
on financial and engineering reports on Public Service Corporations. 

My wife is still alive. 

I have had no children born to me since June, 1904. Neither of 
my children have died. I have now living two sons" (born respect- 
ively June 17, 1894, and January 29, 1899) "and no daughters. 

I have occupied no official positions since June, 1904; nor have I 
taken any degrees or published any books. Do not recollect having 
taken out any patents in that time. 

The summer of the year 1904, when I saw you all in Princeton in 
June, I spent looking after the engineering work of Ford, Bacon & 
Davis, whose Chief Engineer I have been since 1902. 

The year of 1905 I spent almost entirely in Chicago assisting the 
officials of the Chicago Railway Company in their franchise nego- 
tiations with the City. 

The year of 1906 and the early part of 1907 I spent in Pittsburgh 
and New York, working over the report on the financial and en- 
gineering features of the Pittsburgh Street Railways electric light 
and gas situation. 

The winter of 1907 and 1908 I spent mostly in Chicago, working 
on the problem of increasing the capacity of the Union Elevated 
Loop, and other minor matters that came up in connection there- 
with. 

Since April, 1908, I have been acting as Chief Engineer for the 
Receivers of the Metropolitan Street Railway Co., still, however, 
retaining my position as Chief Engineer with the firm of Ford, 
Bacon & Davis." 

CORNELIUS DOREMUS VAN WAGENEN 

In order that "Jim" Denegre may not feel that the Noah Cup 
(for "Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, 

79 



Ham and Japheth") is certainly to be won by him, the class secre- 
tary, acting for and on behalf of the "Band Wagon", hereby 
notifies the said "Jim" Denegre that the said "Band Wagon" is as 
yet unmarried and not even committed to be given in matrimony. 

But let "Bandy" speak for himself, which he does in a letter 
dated at Atlantic City : 

"I send you herewith answers to your questions for the class 
record. Having had but one month of vacation in ten years, I have 
taken a six months' leave of absence from my various professional 
positions and am devoting it to recreation. There is nothing much 
to add to the record for the past five years except this fact. There 
is to be a meeting of the American Medical Association here next 
week and I will probably remain here until its close, when I will 
probably return to town for a few days at least. My plans for the 
summer are quite uncertain, as is also my presence at the reunion. 
If I do not show up remember me to all the boys. As specific 
answers : Office, 6i6 Madison Avenue, cor. 58th Street, New York 
City. Home, 302 West 78th Street, New York City. Business, 
Physician ; Specialty, Nose, Throat and Ear ; no prospective change. 
Official positions, Assistant Surgeon Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat 
Hospital ; Clinical Assistant Vanderbilt Clinic, Col. P. & S. ; Fel- 
low New York Academy of Medicine." 

PERRY WALTON 

Five years from now. Perry's temporary address will be '89 
Headquarters, Princeton, N. J., or else the Walton Advertising & 
Printing Company will be without a head. This of the future. Of 
the past and present, we learn from Perry's letter that — 

"My present business address is 15 Exchange Street, Boston, 
Mass. My home address is Belmont, Mass. My business for the 
last four years has been general advertising under the name of the 
Walton Advertising & Printing Co. I was married in June, 1904, 
at Orange, N. J. The maiden name of my wife was Mabel King- 
man. I have a little girl three years old." 

Perry has had no other child. 

I HOWARD CROSBY WARREN 

This is the person who understands why you forget your um- 
brellas and why you never answer class notices. It is the undying 

80 



wish of your class secretary that the anti-vivisectionists may never 
obtain such power, as will save some of the class from Howard's 
laboratory. 

From the Psychological Laboratory at Princeton, Howard writes : 

"Let me unveil myself to you as follows : 

1. Princeton University, Princeton, N. J. (business address). 

2. 133 Library Place, Princeton, N. J. (The only change I 
anticipate is to the graveyard, which I do not contemplate imme- 
diately. ) 

3. Business : teaching, with editorial work on the side. 

4-5. Married April 5, 1905, to Catherine Campbell, of Indiana, 
in the city of New York. 

6 to 9. None. 10, 11. None. 

12. I have continued to be (jointly with Mark Baldwin, '84) 
editor of the Psychological Review, Psychological Bulletin, and 
Psychological Index, in which I have published several articles, and 
I have compiled and published annually a bibliography^ of psychol- 
ogy which no one has ever found very exciting reading. I have also 
contributed to and edited a sporadic publication called Princeton 
Contributions to Psychology. 

13. None. 

14. Since our last meeting I have been happily married and have 
found a permanent home of my own opposite the homes of Fred 
Neher and Robbins. We hope to see most of the Class there this 
June, and will welcome the remainder as they drift in from time to 
time. As you may guess from (12) most of my teaching is in the 
line of psychology. I am now head of the psychological laboratory 
here." 

Howard has, in Mrs. Warren, an able associate in the chair of 
"entertaining", which they jointly and temporarily assumed on the 
Monday of our reunion week. Every man at the reunion elected 
this course, which consisted of a garden party, and from which 
everyone graduated with a high degree of pleasure. 

\ BERTRAM HOWARD WATERS 

^ "Bert", sometimes known as "Minnehaha, Laughing Waters", 
•sends the following prescription : 

"In response to your urgent request for information I send the 
following : 

81 



1. The Clendening, 202 West 103rd St., New York City. 

2. The Clendening, 202 West 103rd St., New York City. 

3. Physician. In general practice, especially interested in Tu- 
berculosis. 

5. Married Miss Jessica Howard Buck, September 4th, 1906, 
at Saint Ignatius Church, New York City. 

6. No children. 

10. Assistant Chief of Division, Division of Communicable Dis- 
eases, Department of Health, New York City; Chief of Clinic, 
Tuberculosis Clinic, Department of Health, New York City; In- 
structor and Chief of Clinic, Department of Phthisiotherapy, New 
York Post-Graduate Medical School; Lecturer on Tuberculosis, 
Department of Health, New York State. 

11. None. 

12. Some contributions to the current Medical Journals. 

13. None. 

14. I believe there is nothing of general interest, except perhaps 
that I have been, as I said, much interested in the campaign against 
Tuberculosis, in the City and State, and have, I hope, 'helped 
some'." 

STEPHEN KELLOGG WATTS 

"Steve" Watts lives at Glen Ridge, N. J., and, as selling agent 
of the "Brighton Manufacturing Company, Cotton Goods", has his 
office at 43 Leonard Street, New York City. "Steve" has had, in 
all, one son (born September 18, 1904) and two daughters (born 
respectively April i, 1897, and October 29, 1900), all of whom are 
living. 

THOMAS WHITE 

i/ .... 

"Tom" maps his present, and his recent history, in this manner: 

"I have for acknowledgment your circular requesting that I reply 

to certain definitely outlined queries, which are plainly numbered, 

and in reply to same let me submit replies as follows : 

1. My present business address is 711 Sansome Street, San 
Francisco, California. 

2. Home address is 171 6 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco, Cali- 
fornia. 

3. I am manager of the Pacific Department (San Francisco 

82 



Office) of the Sanborn Map Company of New York. As for pro- 
spective changes, I have none. 

4. My wife is still living, still healthy and still attractive, as 
ever. 

5. Inasmuch as I was married before 1904 I need not offer 
an answer thereto. 

6. We have no children. 

7. Can be answered by referring to No. 6; as can also Nos. 
8 and 9. 

10. Same position as is outlined in query No. 3. 

11. No scholastic degrees have I achieved or sought. 

12. I have not written or published any books or pamphlets. 

13. I have not invented or patented any mechanical contrivances 
or processes. 

14. As for other facts connected with my life during the past 
five years, I scarcely know how to begin a recital of such, for 
nothing but success and happiness has attended me |jnce I have 
recovered my health, and when I say this I think it conveys a 
meaning which everyone will understand and appreciate, especially 
those who may have suffered and denied for years as I did. 

Replying to your penned postscript concerning the place of my 
marriage, on September 26, 1903, will say that the event occurred 
in Christ Episcopal Church, Chicago." 

"Tom" and his wife went to Princeton the day immediately pre- 
ceding our recent reunion, but unfortunately were called away by 
business and could not return. "Tom" must spend the next five 
years in remembering the date, June, 1914, and in preparing a map 
of the shortest route to Princeton. 

4 THOMAS BROWN WHITNEY 

Immediately below this present paragraph will be found a letter 
from a man who, in 1914, must reach Princeton either by surface 
route, by tunnel or by sub-aqueous methods. Which way is imma- 
terial, so long as he arrives. 

"i. 1015 Betz Building, Philadelphia, Pa. 

2. 1627 Summer Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 

3. Am interested in an iron foundry in Tennessee. 
4-9. Have never married. 

10. During 1906 and 1907 was in Engineering Department,. 

83 



Penna. Tunnel & Terminal Co., New York, construction of sub- 
aqueous tunnels for Penna. R. R. between New York and Weehaw- 
ken under Hudson River, 

11-13. None. 

14. During the past five years I have spent considerable time in 
the southern states, Tennessee and South Carolina especially, on 
family business. I also lived for nearly two years in New York 
and had an interesting engineering experience in sub-aqueous tun- 
neling. I spent several thousand hours in compressed air work 
under the Hudson, a strange and valuable experience." 

LOUIS WILDMAN WICKHAM 

Thus saith Wickham: 

"Your several letters received, and I owe you as many apologies 
for my neglect. I had hoped until the last few days to be able to 
say that I would be present with the class at Princetorrt but busi- 
ness engagements prevent. My love to all the boys and I wish you 
all a bully time. 

Answering your questions : 

1. Merrit Block, Nor'walk, Ohio. 

2. 237 Benedict Avenue, Norwalk, Ohio. 

3. Attorney at Law. / 

6. Daughter — Annabelle (born July 9, 1907). 

8. One" (born April 8, 1900). 

"9. Three" (born respectively June 25, 1893, Feb. 23, 1895, and 
July 9, 1907). 

"10. Was prosecuting attorney, Huron County, Ohio, until Janu- 
ary I, 1909." 

Through a typographical error, at page 95 of our quindecennial 
record, Wickham was credited with four daughters and two sons. 
He has had but four children in all. 

ARTHUR DIX WINDSOR 

"Section Thirty Oil Company, (Coalinga Oil Fields), 505 Hiber- 
nia Building, San Francisco, Cal, A. D. Windsor, President", is the 
letterhead on which comes the following letter from Windsor : 

"Dave Bovaird, wrote me a few days ago that I had better show 
up at the reunion ; now I want Dave and all the class to know that 
nothing would make me happier than to see every one of you again 



at good old Princeton. I know the reception I would get and I 
sincerely would enjoy seeing the old University, my heart and 
thoughts will be with '89 on the day. Good luck to all and count 
me in at the reunion five years from now, God permitting. 

In answer to the circular will state my present business address 
is Coalinga, Cal., and the Mechanics Bank Building, San Francisco, 
Gal, Room 309. My home address is Brocton, N. Y. Business, 
'law; also in the oil business. 

I am not married, nor have I written any books, or invented any- 
thing." 

Windsor, at the time of the compilation of each record, modestly 
always says that he has nothing of interest to report. However, 
in the last twenty years he has traveled much in this country, and 
has seen much ; and none of the class will forget the event reported 
in our Triennial Record. This event was as follows. In June, 
1892, by a flood of water coated with burning oil, a number of the 
inhabitants of Titusville, Pa., became marooned on an island. From 
this island, was stretched a rope to the main shore, ay successive 
trips hand over hand along this rope, Windsor, unassisted, rescued 
six persons. He made this effort, only after, with the assistance of 
other men, he had succeeded in saving numerous lives. He fainted 
from exhaustion, but not until his work was done. To get this sort 
of a man back to our next reunion, the class should go to the length 
of appointing a vigilance committee. 

WILUAM CRAYTON WINTON 

Winton is Secretary and Treasurer of S. G. Knox and Gompany, 
trading in pine, hardwood and farm lands, as well as wholesale deal- 
ers in lumber and logs. 

The unfortunate interference of business kept him from our reun- 
ion, but we have, to fill a very small part of the space which he him- 
self- should have occupied, the following letter: 

"In regard to the questions would answer as follows. 

1. 102 Palladio Building, Duluth, Minn. 

2. 1509 East First St., Duluth, Minn. 

3. Timber lands and lumber. 

4. Married June 10,, 1891. 

8. One" (born January 26, 1896). 

8S 



"9- Two" (born respectively October 6, 1896, and June 27, 1898). 

"10-14. None. 

I have planned for a long time on being able to be with you at this 
reunion, but within the last week some important matters have come 
up in our business in Alabama and I am sorry to say that I will 
have to leave for Mobile on June loth, and this will prevent my be- 
ing able to be with you, and having a mighty good time." 

Winton has lost no children ; but he lost a good time, by not at- 
tending our reunion. 

I/' 

JAMES EDWARDS WYCKOFF 

"Wyck" evidently feels that his letter should be no longer than 
his nickname, and sends the following : 

"My business address is 54 Wall Street, and my home address is 
131 East 39th Street, both in New York City. In fact, there has 
been no change in my address or in the nature of my business since 
the last class record was made up, and I really do not think of any- 
thing that would be of interest for the new record." 

Every man in our class knew "Wyck's" brother, Walter (Prince- 
ton '88), by personal association with him in our undergraduate 
days. In later, years, some of us had the privilege of continuing 
this personal acquaintance ; while all of us knew him by reputation. 
His untimely death took from our "Wyck" a loving and a loved 
brother, from some of us a present and valued friend, and from all 
of us a man whom we were proud to have associated with the Fac- 
ulty of Princeton University.

VIGESIMAL REUNION 

At its Vigesimal Reunion, the class had, as its headquarters, the 
Goldie House fronting on University Place, and near the railroad 
station, as well as a second house immediately in the rear of the 
first. 

The rear house was used exclusively as a dormitory. In the Uni- 
versity Place building, were bedrooms, the meals were served, and 
the class gatherings were held. 

Although the reunion was not scheduled to commence until Fri- 
day, June nth, men began to filter into Princeton the preceding 
day. 

The first formal event of the reunion was the parade to the Uni- 
versity Field on Saturday afternoon. The class, weariftg long white 
whiskers, in recognition of its age, carrying a tiger balloon and the 
class banner, and preceded by a band, marched in the Alumni pa- 
rade, and had the pleasure of seeing Princeton defeat Yale at base- 
ball. 

A baseball game with '84 had been scheduled for the morning of 
Monday, June 14th ; and, for this game, "Bill" Paxton had trained 
more than fifteen minutes. '84 was unable to find any tennis balls 
sufficiently soft for the purpose of a baseball game, and defaulted. 
On Monday, at noon, the class photograph was taken on the steps 
of Nassau Hall, and then the class adjourned to headquarters for 
the class meeting. The minutes of this meeting appear below. 

On Monday afternoon, the class attended the two delightful gar- 
den parties, given respectively by Fred and Mrs. Neher and Howard 
and Mrs. Warren. 

On Monday evening, in lieu of a dinner, the class had a formal 
smoker at its headquarters. 

At this smoker your class secretary was given a silver loving cup, 
so that he may be biased in judging of the merits of the smoker. 
But men of brain and heart, such as Allie Barr, "Sadie" Thrapp 
and others have written, since the close of the reunion, to your 
secretary and expressed opinions identical with his own. They and 

105 



he feel that, not only was this reunion, the spirit of which culmi- 
nated in the smoker, the best the class ever had, but also a more 
genuine exhibition of honest comradeship could not obtain. 

Several members of the class had brought their automobiles to 
Princeton, and these cars were actively engaged in encouraging 
other members of the class to renew their acquaintance with the en- 
virons of the town. 

When the headquarters closed, on the morning of Wednesday, 
June 1 6th, there were still standing on the steps men who hesitated 
to leave. 

After seeing this recent reunion, every man who attended not 
only must come back five years from now, but also must use his in- 
fluence, to persuade those who were absent last June not to repeat 
their offense in 1914. 

There were present at the reunion: Alexander, Pete Atkinson, 
Alf Barr, Belknap, Black, Bonsai, Bovaird, Brownlee, Chase, Con- 
over, Denegre, Dix, Eggleston, Emans, Ford, Furst, George, Gil- 
liland, Gulick, Hall, Hotchkiss, Hughes, Hunter, Irons, Jenney, Kat- 
zenbach, Kauffmann, King, Kneeland, the two McCords, McCul- 
loch, Mitchell, Mount, Mudge, Neher, Noyes, Paxton, Pemberton, 
Pershing, Pollison, Rand, Robbins, Rollins, Sailer, Scofield, Segur, 
Shepherd, Shrady, the two Sproulls, Stevens, Dune Taylor, the two 
Thorpes, the two Todds, Uebelacker, Warren, Waters and White. 

The minutes of the class meeting are as follows : 

The meeting was called to order by President Bovaird. 

Rollins, as treasurer, reported that he had paid the entire ex- 
penses of the fifteenth year reunion and of printing the record of 
that year, aggregating $1,436.64, against which he had collected 
$1,316.67, leaving a deficit of $119.97; ^^^ that, while this deficit 
had been added to the previous deficit of the class, it appeared that, 
at the present reunion, all of these deficits would be made up. 

As secretary, he made an informal report, in the course of which 
he said that, in May, 1909, he made an inspection of the grave of 
Durell, in Rome, Italy, and found that it was in so good a state of 
preservation that, except for the apparent necessity of painting the 
iron work some three years hence, there was no present indication 
of any future demand for repairs. 

The class determined to hold a reunion at Princeton in June, 1914, 
and to publish a record in that year. 

106 



The president then read RolHns' letter of resignation as class sec- 
retary and treasurer, which resignation was not accepted. 

The secretary then read the resolution adopted by himself and the 
class president, in the name of the class, at the time of the death of 
Henry Sill, and explained that the adoption of such resolution was 
necessary at the time in order that it might be promptly published 
in the Cooperstown papers. The action of these officers, as well as 
the text of the resolution, was unanimously approved by the class. 

Tom Noyes dehvered a eulogy on Jason Barr, and, at its close, 
was designated as a committee to draft a formal resolution in the 
name of the class. 

The president was authorized to appoint an executive committee 
consisting of the class officers and four other members, which com- 
mittee should have all the powers that the class would have at any 
regular or special meeting convened after due notice. The com- 
position of this committee appears elsewhere in this volume, under 
the title "Class Organization". 

Tom Noyes then made an appeal to the members* of the class, 
not only to maintain their comradeship with the successful of the 
class, but to do, at the very least, their pro rata part in extending 
helpful comradeship to any of the class who, for one reason or an- 
other, might now have lost, or might hereafter lose, their hold on 
themselves. For the effectuation of the purposes thus set forth, the 
president, after due authority given him, appointed as the "Rear 
Guard Committee" the men whose names appear under the heading 
of that committee on that page of this volume entitled "Class Or- 
ganization". 

Everybody patted everybody else on the back, and the meeting ad- 
journed.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY'S PROGRESS 

Arriving at Princeton, either by the Pennsylvania Railroad (now 
double-tracked from the "Junction"), or by one of the two trolley 
lines from Trenton, the Rip van Winkle of '89 is confronted by 
many changes. 

STUDENTS. 

The catalogue for the academic year, i9o8-'o9, shows an enroll- 
ment of 1314 students, divided thus: Graduate School 91, Electrical 
School 10, Academic Undergraduates 625, Scientific Undergradu- 
ates 523, Qualifying for regular undergraduate standing 61, Spec- 
ials 4. ^ 

This decrease of more than one hundred students, as compared 
with the figures of five years ago, is due, almost entirely, to the 
raising of the educational standard of the institution. 

FACULTY. 

In 1904, the faculty was composed of 109 professors and instruc- 
tors. In 1909, the number had been increased to 161. 

This increase is due to the installation of the "Preceptorial Sys- 
tem", whereby there has been added to the faculty a number of 
"Preceptors" or instructors. 

To the several preceptors in the various subjects, are allotted the 
students pursuing that subject. Each of the preceptors subdivides 
his allotment of students into sections, according to the extent of 
knowledge and bent of mind of the students assigned to him. These 
sections vary in number from one student up. 

By intimate personal contact, and so by promptly discovering just 
what portions of the text books are not understood by the student, 
by friendly and informal explanation, by directing the student's 
collateral reading, the preceptor keeps him prepared to meet the 
requirements of the formal recitations and of the examinations. 

A student must regularly report to his preceptors, and must do 
the work specified by them. Otherwise, he is liable, either to be de- 

109 



barred from examination and so conditioned, or, at the least, to be 
penalized by the imposition of extra work. 

All this means that the undergraduates of today are studying 
more diligently than did the classes of past years, and that a higher 
standing is demanded of them. 

Since 1904, Time has been reaping its harvest. There have died 
Professor Charles Woodruff Shields (August 26, 1904), Henry 
Clay Cameron (October 26, 1906), S. Stanhope Orris (December 
17, 1906), and Charles A. Young (January 2, 1908). In the sum- 
mer of 1904, Dean Murray's widow passed away ; and, on November 
28, 1904, the loved face of dear old Dr. William M. Paxton disap- 
peared forever from the campus. The death of Dr. Elijah R. 
Craven, on January 5, 1908, made vacant another Trusteeship, and 
deprived the University's diplomas of a familiar signature. 

In 1905, Dennis, known to us as Janitor of Dickinson Hall, and 
respected by more than fifty successive classes, went to his reward. 

Professors Packard, Brackett, Mackloskie and Rockwood are now 
Emeritus. 

Moved disagreeably near the top of the Faculty List, appear the 
names of the very much alive, very well, thank you, and very active 
Warren, Robbins and Neher, Professors, respectively, of Experi- 
mental Psychology, Greek and Chemistry. 

This year, a new Deanship has been created, that of the College, 
its incumbent being Dr. Elliott. 

"Square", lovable "Harry" Fine, is now Dean of the Scientific 
School and of the University, and is senior to the other Deanship. 

Dr. West still continues as Dean of the Graduate School. 

Let us see what this faculty of 161 members teaches. 

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. 

For entrance, one aiming at the A.B. degree must present Greek, 
Latin, History, English, Mathematics through Plane Geometry, and 
either French or German, while one intending to pursue either the 
B.S. or Litt.B. courses must offer these subjects, save only Greek, 
and, in lieu thereof, Solid Geometry, Plane Trigonometry, either 
both French and German, or one of these languages and either 
Chemistry or Physics. 

An incipient C.E. must present History, English, Mathematics 

no 



through Plane Trigonometry, either Physics or Chemistry, and any 
two of the following languages, Latin, French, German. 

COURSES OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDY, OTHER THAN C.E. 

The course of the freshman year is composed of i6 class exercises 
a week, none of which are elective, and of which, 2 are given to 
English, 4 to Latin, and 4 to Mathematics. In addition, each A.B. 
candidate has 4 exercises in Greek and 2 in that one of the modern 
languages which he ofifered at entrance, while each Litt.B. or B.S. 
candidate has 3 exercises in the modern language which he offered 
at entrance, and 3 exercises either in the other modern language 
(French or German) or in Physics, according as he did or did not 
offer Physics for entrance. 

The schedules of every sophomore, junior, and senior, who is a 
candidate for a Bachelor's degree, consists of 5 courses, each of 3 
hours a week, subject only to such exemptions as are established for 
candidates for "Special Honors" (for exemptions, see below). 

In sophomore year, the courses are: • 

For A.B. Degree, "Required", Physics, Logic (ist term), Psy- 
chology (2d term), Greek (ist term), Latin (2nd term), "Elective" 
(any 2 courses to be taken) Latin (ist term), Greek (2d term), 
Chemistry, Mathematics, English (ist term), History (2d term), 
French, German. 

For B.S. or Litt.B. Degree, "Required", Latin or Mathematics, 
Physics or Chemistry, Logic (ist term), Psychology (2d term), 
"Elective" (any 2 courses to be taken) Latin, Mathematics, Phys- 
ics, Chemistry, French, German, English (ist term). History (2d 
term), Graphics (if Mathematics elected). 

For the purpose of arranging "Electives", all the courses of junior 
and senior years fall within "Divisions" and "Departments", as fol- 
lows : A. Division of Philosophy, I, Department of Philosophy, II, 
Department of History, Politics and Economics ; B, Division of Art 
and Archaeology, HI, department of Art and Archaeology; C, 
Division of Language and Literature, Departments of IV, Classics, 
V, English, Via, Modern Languages, Germanic Section, VIb, Mod- 
ern Languages, Romanic Section; D, Division of Mathematics and 
Science, Departments of VII, Mathematics, VIII, Physics, IX, 
Chemistry, X, Geology, XI, Biology. In addition, there are, in 
junior year, "Honors" courses in IVa, Classical Humanities, and 

III 



Vila, Mathematics and Physics, and also 5 other and isolated 
courses under Division D, but not included in any of its Depart- 
ments, and, in senior year, an "Honors" course in Vila, Mathe- 
matics and Physics and also 4 isolated courses not included in any 
Department. 

The student's choice of a Department for junior and senior years 
is largely conditioned by his selection of electives in sophomore year. 
Certain sophomore courses are a prerequisite to admission to certain 
upper-class courses. 

Each junior must choose a Department in which to concentrate 
his studies; and must take, not only all the junior year courses of 
that Department, as indicated in the official list, but also all the 
courses which are there stated to be cognate to that Department. 
Three of his five courses must, in all cases, be in the Division in 
which the elected Department lies, and one course shall be outside of 
this Division, the remaining course being left to the student's free 
election. 

Each senior must continue his studies in a Department in which 
he has satisfied the junior year requirements, and must take three 
courses in that Department as indicated in the official list, or, in case 
three courses are not thus indicated, three of his courses must, in all 
cases, be in the Division in which his Department lies. 

All of the foregoing schedules are subject to modification in the 
case of a student admitted to an "Honors" course. 

Such a student is spared the necessity of taking certain of the 
electives specified above, but he must devote the time thus saved him 
to exercises in his "Honors" course. 

This coordination of the studies, particularly as had with the 
"Preceptorial System", is producing graduates, not only clear in 
thought, but also well grounded for the specialized work in which 
they engage on graduation. 

COURSE OF UNDERGRt^DUATE STUDY, C.E. (aLL REQUIRED). 

The freshman attends exercises 16 hours each week, i. e. Graph- 
ics (ist term) 2 hours. Geodesy (ist term) i hour and (2d term) 
3 hours, and (throughout the year) Enghsh 2 hours. Physics 4 
hours, Mathematics 4 hours, Chemistry 3 hours. 

The sophomore attends exercises 17 hours each week, i. e. Min- 
eralogy (ist term) 3 hours. Geology (2d term) 3 hours, and 



(throughout the year) Physics 3 hours, Mathematics 5 hours, 
Graphics 3 hours, Geodesy 3 hours. 

The 17 hours weekly exercises of junior year are Analytical Me- 
chanics 3 hours. Astronomy (ist term) 3 hours, (2d term) 2 hours, 
Graphical Statics (ist term), 3 hours. Mechanics of Materials 
(2d term) 4 hours. Geodesy (ist term) 4 hours, (2d term) 5 hours, 
Graphics (ist term) 2 hours, (2d term) 3 hours, Materials of Con- 
struction (ist term) 2 hours. 

The senior's 17 hours of weekly exercises, he divides among 
Framed Structures (ist term) 5 hours, (2d term) 3 hours, Prime 
Motors 3 hours. Hydraulics (ist term) 2 hours, Water Works (2d 
term) 2 hours, Graphics (ist term) 2 hours. Sewerage and Drainage 
(2d term), 2 hours. Geodesy (ist term) 3 hours. Roads, Masonry 
Structures and Methods of Construction (each 2d term) each 2 
hours. Laboratory (ist term) 2 hours, (2d term) i hour. 

POST-GRADUATE SCHOOLS. 

The Graduate School may be entered only by those who^ossess 
a Bachelor's degree, either from Princeton or an institution of equal 
standing, or by those who, on examination, show a corresponding 
amount of preparedness. 

Its courses lead to the degrees of A.M. (in i year), and Ph.D. 
(in 2 years). 

The School of Electrical Engineering gives a two year course, and 
requires that appHcants for admission either have a Princeton Bach- 
elors' degree (with satisfactory knowledge of French, German and 
Mathematics including Calculus and Differential Equations), or have 
had an equivalent preparation. The survivors of this course are 
given the degree of E.E. 

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. 

The campus, as we knew it in our undergraduate days, contained 
about 225 acres, and was bounded, on the north, by Nassau St., 
on the east, by Washington St., on the south, by the swamp north 
of the canal, and on the west, by the Pennsylvania Railroad and 
Railroad Avenue (now called University Place). 

Since we entered college, the following changes have occurred, the 
date of the erection of each structure being bracketed after the name 
of the structure. 



Of the buildings we knew, as freshmen, all remain, save East 
College, the Gymnasium, the "Old" Chapel and Whig and Clio 
Halls. 

On the sites of the old Halls, now stand new Halls (1893), o^ 
marble, and larger than the old. 

East College, and the "Old" Chapel have made way for the Li- 
brary (1897), built of Longmeadow stone, in the Oxford Gothic 
style, a hollow quadrangle of about 160 feet square, connected with 
the old Chancellor Green Library by a delivery room. Its capacity 
is 1,200,000 volumes, and there now are in the united buildings 
240,000 volumes and some 58,000 unbound periodicals and pam- 
phlets. 

The Biological Laboratory (1887, brick and terra cotta), and the 
Dynamo Building (1889, brick) closely adjoin the School of Sci- 
ence Building on the south, while, facing the rear of that building, 
and, on the easterly side of Washington St., are the Civil Engineer- 
ing Laboratory (1904, brick) and the Chemical Laboratory (1891, 
brick and stone). 

On the Chapel side of McCosh Walk, running the entire length 
of the walk, is the large Collegiate Gothic recitation building, Mc- 
Cosh Hall (1907, Indiana limestone). It is over 400 feet long, 
and contains i room seating 600 persons, i room seating 400, 4 
rooms each seating 75, 4 rooms each seating 65, and 6 rooms each 
seating 50. The present building forms one side of a contemplated 
quadrangle. 

North of the present building, and in the center of the proposed 
court, is a stone replica of the Turnbull Sun Dial (1907) at Corpus 
Christi College, Oxford. 

On the opposite side of McCosh Walk, is the small Magnetic Ob- 
servatory (1889, brick). 

South of the Magnetic Observatory are three Gothic buildings. 
The first of these, a dormitory, Seventy-nine Hall (1904, brick and 
limestone), faces on Washington Street, with its tower and arch- 
way opposite the end of Prospect Avenue, and accommodates 48 
men. The second building, the Palmer Physical Laboratory (1908, 
brick and Indiana limestone), lies south of Seventy-nine Hall, is 
built around three sides of an open court, and contains laboratories, 
machine shops, lecture, recitation and various other rooms, whose 
aggregate floor space is approximately two acres. The third build- 

114 



ing, Arnold Guyot Hall (1909, brick and Indiana limestone), is 
almost as large as the Palmer Laboratory, and is to be devoted to 
Geological and Biological work. 

Between these two buildings, is the Isabella McCosh Infirmary 
(1892, brick) with its isolation annex (1899). 

Going back toward the center of the campus, we find, on the 
west side of and connected with Murray Hall, a larger and Gothic 
building, Dodge Hall (1900), which contains four prayer meeting 
rooms, a reading and several committee rooms, and also the apart- 
ments of the secretary. 

South of Dodge Hall is the Art Museum (1887, brick and terra 
cotta), south of it, David Brown Hall (1891, granite and brick), 
a Florentine Renaissance dormitory containing 50 suites. 

South of David Brown Hall, is Patton Hall (1906), white Ger- 
mantown stone), a Gothic dormitory holding 100 men. 

West of the north end of Patton Hal!, and approximately 1,500 
feet from Nassau Street, is a building (1903) occupied by the Uni- 
versity's power plant. Abutting on the northerly side of this build- 
ing, at its easterly end, is the Brokaw Building with its swimming 
tank (1892, stone) and, at its westerly end, the Gymnasium (1903). 

The Gymnasium is the southernmost of a line of Gothic, white 
Germantown stone buildings which skirts the westerly side of the 
campus as far as the Observatory. The Gymnasium contains com- 
mittee, trophy, and other rooms, an exercising hall (166 x loi feet) 
replete with apparatus, the dressing and bath rooms being of corre- 
sponding size and equipment. 

Connected with the northerly end of the Gymnasium, is Stafford 
Little Hall (1899 and 1902), a dormitory containing 62 suites. 

North of this, and running along the irregular boundary of the 
campus, up to the Observatory, is Blair Hall (1897 and 1907), a dor- 
mitory, through the arch of whose massive tower, one reaches the 
railway station. 

Immediately east of the Observatory, and covering the site of the 
old Gymnasium, is Campbell Hall (1909), a dormitory, of the same 
style and material as Blair Hall, and holding 60 men. 

All the buildings facing on Nassau Street and between University 
Hall and the First Presbyterian Church have disappeared in the 
past month, and, in their place, is now going up the Sage Dormi- 
tory, a Gothic building, to be occupied by freshmen. 

IIS 



Between Reunion and Campbell Halls, is Alexander Hall (1892), 
a granite and brownstone Romanesque building occupied by an aud- 
itorium devoted to Commencement and other formal exercises. 

Finally, southeast of Edwards Hall, is Albert B. Dod Hall (1890), 
a dormitory of granite and limestone, in pseudo-Italian Renaissance 
style; while, one the northerly side of Nassau Street, opposite the 
Dean's house and the east end of Nassau Hall respectively, are 
the Upper and Lower Pyne Buildings (1896). These two dormito- 
ries are in the half-timbered Chester style. 

The fence in front of Nassau Hall has been replaced by a mas- 
sive wrought-iron fence, pierced by the stone Fitz Randolph Gate- 
way (1905). 

The glory of the campus, Nassau Hall, is untouched, save that 
the horrid little cheese boxes at either end of the roof have been 
removed, and the large room formerly occupied by the museum has 
been remodeled into a stately apartment for faculty meetings. The 
lions of imitation bronze will move, this coming fall, from the 
front steps to the entrance of Seventy-nine Hall. Bronze tigers, 
the gift of '79» will guard thereafter the door of Nassau Hall. 

The new Gothic buildings overshadow the old structures, except 
Nassau Hall, which, important in the excellence of its architecture 
and the dignity of its traditions, is, and always will be, the focus of 
the campus. 

The campus, as a whole, is now in charge of a supervising archi- 
tect. All future buildings are to be placed, according to a plan 
devised by himx, and by which a system of quadrangles in the Oxford 
style will gradually be constructed, all related to the Cannon and 
North College as their focal centre. This plan contemplates the re- 
modeling if not the ultimate removal of some of the less pleasing 
of the buildings, but whatever has the sanctity of age is to remain, 
West College included. 

A building soon to go up on the campus will be one for the 
Graduate School, which now occupies "Merwick", where Professor 
Raymond lived in our day, but which the college now owns. On its 
II acres, are Professor Raymond's former house, now holding 
14 students and an annex holding 8 more. 

Prospect Avenue, from Washington Street to beyond the Athletic 
Field, is given over to the upper-class clubs, of which there are fif- 
teen. 

116 



The freshmen and sophomores are compelled to eat at the col- 
lege commons. Recently President Wilson suggested that the jun- 
iors and seniors also be required to take their meals in commons, 
there to be several commons, one for each group of buildings or 
quadrangle. This was the much discussed "Quad System". 

This suggestion was made; because the President believed that, 
with the large number of clubs, possibly a stigma was cast on the 
men who failed of election to any, and that there was scant possi- 
bility that there ever would be clubs enough to absorb all upper- 
classmen. 

The suggestion has not been adopted thus far by the Trustees. 

Bounded on the north by the line of upper-class clubs, and on 
the east by Washington Street, is a tract of 93 acres, acquired in 
1905. The south boundaries of this tract, as well as of the old 
campus, are marked by Carnegie Lake (1906). 

The lake extends to Kingston from the Pennsylvania Railroad 
bridge on the "Princeton Branch", about 3^ miles ; and, covering 
the swamp land between the canal towpath and the Princeton hill, 
varies in width from 400 to 1,000 feet. Such of its entire shore as 
is not owned by the University is restricted against factory or other 
undesirable use. 

Another tract, of 221 acres, lying between the Theological Semi- 
nary and Stoney Brook, was presented to the University in 1905, 
and contains a golf course, and a clubhouse built by '86. 

The University Athletic Field has been completely remodelled 
since our day; and, in addition to splendid spaces for games, con- 
tains the (i) clubhouse with its training quarters, dining, bed, sit- 
ting and bathrooms, (2) base ball cage, (3) field house with its dres- 
sing, bath and locker rooms, (4) large covered grand stand, and (5) 
large open stands. 

MISCELLANEOUS. 

The expenses have increased somewhat since we entered, $381 
being now the minimum annual expense, not including, however, the 
cost of books, clothes, room furnishings or travelling expenses, and 
not, on the other hand, allowing for the financial assistance obtain- 
able from the University. 

Because of the insufficient size of the Chapel, each undergradu- 
ate is required to attend but two week-day services, and but one- 

117 



half of each term's Sunday services. But one service is held each 
Sunday, and that in the morning. 

The town, too, has changed. New houses are in what we saw as 
fields. The farms of our day on outer Stockton Street have been 
transformed into well groomed country places. Near the point 
where Nassau Street forks into Stockton and Mercer Streets, one 
finds a good hotel, the Princeton Inn, and an attractive club, the 
Nassau Club. 

These are the changes. There has been no change in the democ- 
racy, in the comradeship, in the sanity, or in the idealism of the 
college life. 

ATHLETICS. 

The past five years have brought a greater variety of competition 
than theretofore obtained, a variety wholly unknown twenty years 
ago. In addition to intercollegiate contests in football, baseball, 
basketball, track events, hockey, gymnastics, swimming, water polo, 
fencing, rifle and shot gun shooting, cross country running, wrest- 
ling, golf, tennis and only Heaven and the undergraduates know 
what else, there are, in many of these things, dual and freshman 
meets, as well as both team and individual championships. 

Then, too, there is rowing on Carnegie Lake, but, in this sport, 
the only contests have been those between Princeton class crews — 
both "fours" and "eights". 

The football records of the last five years show that Princeton, in 
the lo games of 1904, scored 181 to her opponents' 34, losing to 
Yale (0-12) and Annapolis (9-10) ; in the 10 games of 1905, scored 
229 to her opponents' 45, losing to Yale (4 to 23) and to Dartmouth 
(0-6) ; in the 10 games of 1906, scored 205 to her opponents' 9, 
tying Yale (0-0) ; in the 9 games of 1907, scored 282 to her oppon- 
ents' 23, losing to Yale (10-12) and Cornell (5-6) ; in the 10 games 
of 1908, scored 84 to her opponents' 25, losing to Yale (6-1 1), and 
Dartmouth (6-10), and that the Princeton freshmen, in 1904, de- 
feated the Yale freshmen (10-7). 

In baseball, Princeton, in 1905, after winning the only game 
played with Harvard, and after winning the first Yale game (18-2), 
lost the next two Yale games; in 1906 and again in 1907, defeated 
both Harvard and Yale in both of the two games played with each 
of them; in 1908 won both of the two Harvard, and two of the 

118 



three Yale games, and, in 1909, lost both of the two Harvard and 
two of the three Yale games. 

Among the intercollegiate championships in minor sports, were 
shot-gun shooting (team 1904 and 1905, individual 1904 and 1906), 
swimming (1907), hockey (1907) and gymnastics (team and indi- 
vidual 1908). 

The elimination of the freshman, post graduate, and conditioned 
students from intercollegiate contests makes relatively small the 
number of men from which Princeton may recruit her teams. 

Intercollegiate successes, other than athletic, were the winning of 
the chess tournament in 1909, of the debates with Yale in 1907 and 
1908, and with Harvard in each year from 1905 to 1908 (both inclu- 
sive), and of the intercollegiate freshman debate in 1908. 

In 1909, Harvard, Yale and Princeton each debated twice with 
the other two, and each won one, and lost one of such two debates. 

These debating victories have been the more pleasing, because law 
students not infrequently represented our opponents. ^ 

Whether Princeton has progressed is not a subject for debate.
